Application that install browser plugin

[qwertyuiopearendil]

Hi All,
Some of you was able to use trivial example to create a browser plugin?
I'm trying to compile it but I'm not able to do.

These are the steps done untill now:

#1 Create a new project (Qt GUI Application);
#2 Create a file trivial.cpp:

@
#include <QtGui>

class Trivial : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString text READ text WRITE setText)

 Q_CLASSINFO("ClassID", "{5a22176d-118f-4185-9653-9f98958a6df8}")
 Q_CLASSINFO("InterfaceID", "{2df735ba-da4f-4fb7-8f35-b8dfbf8cfd9a}")
 Q_CLASSINFO("EventsID", "{449de213-f8bd-4d2e-a2cf-eab407c03245}")

 Q_CLASSINFO("MIME", "trivial/very:xxx:Trivial and useless")
 Q_CLASSINFO("ToSuperClass", "Trivial")
 Q_CLASSINFO("DefaultProperty", "text")

public:
Trivial(QWidget *parent = 0)
: QWidget(parent)
{
m_text = QString::fromLatin1("Empty");
}

 void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *)
 {
     mouseDown();
 }
 void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
 {
     mouseMove(e->x(), e->y());
 }
 void mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent*)
 {
     mouseUp();
 }
 QString text() const
 {
     return m_text;
 }

public slots:
void about()
{
QMessageBox::aboutQt(this);
}
void setText(const QString &text)
{
m_text = text;
update();
}

signals:
void mouseDown();
void mouseMove(int x, int y);
void mouseUp();

protected:
void paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)
{
QPainter p(this);
QRect r(rect());
r.adjust(0, 0, -1, -1);

     p.drawRect(r);
     p.drawText(r, Qt::AlignCenter, m_text);
 }

private:
QString m_text;
};

#include "trivial.moc"

QTNPFACTORY_BEGIN("Trivial Qt-based Plugin", "A Qt-based LiveConnected plug-in that does nothing")
QTNPCLASS(Trivial)
QTNPFACTORY_END()

#ifdef QAXSERVER
#include <ActiveQt/QAxFactory>
QAXFACTORY_BEGIN("{aa3216bf-7e20-482c-84c6-06167bacb616}", "{08538ca5-eb7a-4f24-a3c4-a120c6e04dc4}")
QAXCLASS(Trivial)
QAXFACTORY_END()
#endif
@

#3 create a .pri file called trivial.pri:

@
SOURCES += trivial.cpp
@

#4 Add trivial.pri to my Main project:

@
include(trivial.pri)
@

When i compile main application it returns an error:
trivial.cpp: error: 73: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token

Can you help me?

Thanks

For which browser is this? Looks like IE to me, but I am not sure.

[qwertyuiopearendil]

I'd like to create for all browser but for now I'll be very happy if it runs with firefox.
But for now my project doesn't compile.

From "here":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/solutions/4/qtbrowserplugin/developingplugins.html
Did you

1. "Download":ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/pub/qt/solutions/ the necessary files?

Include the qtbrowserplugin.pri in your .pro file, and regenerate the makefile with qmake. The resulting makefile will generate a shared library that the browsers will be able to load as a plugin.

I compiled trivial example, it generates a .dll
Now how can i install into firefox.
Thanks.

I've solved my Problem, we must simply put the dll created into a specific folder.
Thanks to all

Hi, About my last post: it's true that plugin is installed putting .dll file into specific folder but this doesn't run on windows.
What should i do to install my trivial plugin on internet explorer?
I've added line:
@CONFIG += qaxserver@
Necessary for Internet Explorer
Thanks.

[sonuesco]

thanks all its helpful information for me

[loladiro]

On Internet Exploerer it should be automatic:
[quote]
Windows, Internet Explorer: The Makefile generated by qmake by default runs the necessary commands to register the plugin as an ActiveX server (if CONFIG includes qaxserver).
[/quote]
Otherwise you can register it manually using 'regsvr32 "C:\PATH\TO\PLUGIN.dll" '.

[qwertyuiopearendil]

I apologize for my experience lack, but what does it mean: " you can register it manually using ‘regsvr32 “C:\PATH\TO\PLUGIN.dll” ‘. "

Sorry

[DenisKormalev]

you should run this command in console with path to your plugin.

[qwertyuiopearendil]

Ok thanks for you quick feedback, but i should do it from Qt application or from Installer.

Hi all, I'm working with the Bouncer example from the "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, Second Edition
by Jasmin Blanchette; Mark Summerfield" book.
I can't receive the signal in javascript, which was sent from plugin (function AxBouncer::bouncing(), demo.html)
I used qtbrowserplugin, but did't work too.
Everything works Firefox.

Sorry, does not work in Internet explorer
