A technology developed by Microsoft for sharing information among different applications, ActiveX supports new features that enable it to take advantage of the Internet. For example, an ActiveX control can be automatically downloaded and executed by a Web browser. ActiveX is not a programming language, but rather a set of rules for how applications should share information. It allows you to create cross-platform, language-independent controls
ActiveX is an outgrowth of two other Microsoft technologies called OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model).
In programming, the Component Object Model (COM), also known as ActiveX, is a Microsoft technology for software components. It is used to enable cross-software communication. Although it has been implemented on several platforms, it is primarily used with Microsoft Windows. Its precursor was object linking and embedding (OLE), and it is to be replaced with the Microsoft .NET framework.
