a component program object that can be re-used by many application
a component that can be included in another application or a web page (in Internet Explorer)
a control you can add to Visual Basic's Toolbox window
a customized control that supports a defined set of interfaces and is used as a reusable component
a graphical object that you can use in your Office documents, workbooks, and presentations to control a predefined set of events
a kind of COM component that generally requires hosting in a GUI
an actual component making use of ActiveX technology to implement features in programs, Internet documents, or other technologies
an application that can run inside Internet Explorer
an COM-based object that can draw itself in its own window, respond to events (such as mouse clicks), and be managed through an interface that includes properties and methods similar to those in Automation objects
an object that supports a customizable, programmatic interface
an OLE control with some special features
a reusable control that is packaged and available for use in your applications
a small, executable code package that users of Internet Explorer can download and run on their PCs
a small program being sucked into your PC by Microsoft Internet Explorer without your knowledge, caused serious securityproblems when useing IE
a software component that can be plugged into many different programs and used as if it were a
a software component that you use to build applications
a software component which can be 'plugged' into various software applications, such as Internet Explorer or Visual Basic
a UI control that is interoperable across and can be hosted into ActiveX container environments
A compiled software component based on the component object model (COM) that encapsulates a set of business or user interface functions. An ActiveX Control is used to provide user interface components and is designed to run on the client computer. These were formerly called OLE Controls. Optimizations in the technology resulted in smaller, faster software components and support for key features used to distribute components 'just in time' over networks such as the Internet. ActiveX Controls can be embedded in Web pages for use over the Internet as well as combined to create client/server applications that run over a corporate network. They can be created by a variety of programming languages from Microsoft or from third-party vendors. ActiveX Controls use the file extension .ocx. See also COM, Controls, and Events.
A reusable software component that incorporates Microsoft ActiveX technology. ActiveX controls can be inserted onto forms to produce interactive content. An ActiveX control can be written in a variety of programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and Visual Basic.
Control Browser plugin object designed to extend the functionality of your internet browser.
An object that you place on a form to enable or enhance a user's interaction with an application. ActiveX controls have events and can be incorporated into other controls. The controls have an .ocx file name extension.
An in-process server (typically a small object) that can be used in any OLE container that supports ActiveX control; Interacts with its container via a 2-way communication mechanism: the control fires events to the container whereas the container modifies the properties and calls the methods of the control. The Control inherits the event-firing capability from the COleControl class, and exposes its sets of properties and methods using a dispatch map; Can have 2 modes: windowed and windowless. Windowless mode offers smaller instance object size and lower creation time.
A specific implementation of ActiveX technology. For security, Microsoft developed a registration system so that your Web browser can identify and authenticate ActiveX controls before downloading them.
Self-registering, in-process COM component that often has a visual element either at design time or run time. ActiveX controls also have the ability to communicate with an Active Document container, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
An object that can be placed on a form so that users can interact with applications. ActiveX controls have events, properties, and methods and can be incorporated into other controls. ActiveX controls have an .ocx file extension.
A component that can be inserted in a page to provide functionality not directly available in HTML, such as animation sequences, credit-card transactions, or spreadsheet calculations. ActiveX controls can be implemented in a variety of programming languages.
A software module with OLE capabilities that can easily be embedded in Web pages or programs.!-- google_ad_client = "pub-5740479868353937"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_url = "008000"; google_color_text = "000000";
A simple, authenticated program that runs in your browser. Shutterfly's plug-in for Internet Explorer is an ActiveX Control.
