I want to wrap some activex dll to npapi. An ActiveX DLL can contain many controls, just like the one I'm going to wrap.

Can a npapi dll contain many controls? I know the npapi control is working like:

x-application/x-...

It just seems that the npapi dll can't wrap many controls, so I must split the controls in the activex dll, but I don't think it's a good idea because there are some public data structs.

Is it possible to have a npapi dll with multiple controls?

Yes, NPAPI plugins can support multiple mimetypes and all popular plugins actually have more than one (check e.g. about:plugins in Firefox).

The places where you specify the mimetypes for your plugins all support specifying multiple ones.
NPP_New() and NPP_NewStream() receive a NPMIMEType parameter that you can check.
