ActiveX is a Microsoft technology used to develop reusable software components. It refers to objects that can be created and manipulated using automation. For example, an ActiveX component might be a calculator function embedded in a software application.
ActiveX Controls
ActiveX controls are found on Internet Web pages. They are small executable programs. When the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser accepts the download of these controls, the Web page behaves like a piece of software. ActiveX controls are similar to Java applets, but they are more powerful and can present more of a security risk.
