How to use NPAPI plugin in Windows 7 Gadget?

Question

Have a nice day! How to use NPAPI plugin written on C++ in Windows 7 desktop gadget? Any examples or suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 1

You most certainly cannot do this. IE and related technologies haven't supported NPAPI since IE 4 (or something around there).

You might be able to use an ActiveX control. I'm not sure.

(alright, when I say you can't do this, I'm sure you could create a NPAPI host that lives in a gadget or something and load the plugin there, but that seems a little silly)
