Developing Chrome Extensions Using NPAPI in C++

Question

I want to develop a simple Chrome extension in C++, using NPAPI, which does the job of dumping the HTML content of the current page onto a file. I don\'t have much expertise in

Answer 1

1 - Create a Extension... http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/getstarted.html

2 - Create a NPAPI plugin... http://colonelpanic.net/2009/03/building-a-firefox-plugin-part-one/

3 - On the manifest of your extension add the plugin...

"plugins": [
    { "path": "your_npapi_plugin.dll" }    
  ],

4 - On your extension background page create the plugin

5 - Create a javascript that you will use as a content script injected on every page. On that script communicate with your npapi scriptable object and do the work you want to do.

How do I get the value of MyNPAPIPluginId? All I have is the name of the DLL?

On your background page when you add the tag of your plugin, you place the id

On Windows you add the MIMEType on the resource file of the DLL, add a entry with:

VALUE "MIMEType", "application/my-plugin-mimetype"
