 ActiveX control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, an ActiveX control might implement spreadsheet functionality similar to Microsoft Excel, which would be visual in nature, but it also might implement functionality to upload or download files from an FTP site, which is not visual in nature unless it incorporates some sort of download progress display or similar.
Because of that later use, ActiveX Controls have since been much derided in the mainstream and technical press for their ability to be used by unethical developers to create computer viruses, trojans and spyware infections.
ActiveX controls are instead unsafe for users of Internet Explorer who turn on the browser's ability to download and activate ActiveX controls within a web page.

 Pros and Cons of ActiveX and DHTML Controls   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

 INFO: Difference Between OLE Controls and ActiveX Controls
Sure, some controls are not as better suited to be used on the Internet due to their large size and synchronously loading of properties, but they are still ActiveX controls.
Older containers typically only recognize controls that are marked in the registry with the "Control" key and that implement the older OLE control specification, although they may be able to use newer controls as Automation objects.
Lightweight controls are ActiveX controls but may not implement all the required features of the older OLE control specification.

 Introduction - ActiveX controls - Developer Fusion, the UK developer community - VB, ASP, C#, .NET, PHP and XML ...
ActiveX controls are the descendants of the first OCX controls that appeared when Visual Basic 4 was released.
The original OCX controls included a lot of low-level functionality (and consequently had to support many COM interfaces), and therefore were heavy and relatively slow.
The new ActiveX controls were specifically redesigned to be embedded in HTML pages and delegate much of their functionality to their container, be it Microsoft Internet Explorer, a Visual Basic form, or any other ActiveX-compliant environment.

 Web / Programming / ActiveX - WebReference.com
Most people think of ActiveX as a separate development language that allows for the creation of applet-like applications that can be downloaded and run within Microsoft's Web browser.
While ActiveX controls can indeed be run within Internet Explorer, and such controls are perhaps the most common and popular use of the technology, "ActiveX" itself represents not a specific development language, but rather a larger collection of resource sharing and communication technologies based in MS OLE and COM.
ActiveX controls can, therefore, actually be written in multiple languages/IDEs; including C++, VB, and Delphi.
