ActiveX is a technology developed by Microsoft. With an ActiveX-enabled browser (ie Internet Explorer only) ActiveX controls can be downloaded as part of a Web document to add functionality to the browser (similar to Java applets). In particular ActiveX enables seamless viewing of Windows files of all types, eg spreadsheets, and in combination with other technologies such as Java and scripting languages, makes possible the development of complex Web applications. ...

A loosely defined set of technologies developed by Microsoft. ActiveX is an outgrowth of two other Microsoft technologies called OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model). As a moniker, ActiveX can be very confusing because it applies to a whole set of COM-based technologies. Most people, however, think only of ActiveX controls, which represent a specific way of implementing ActiveX technologies.

A Microsoft technology used on the Internet to make interactive web pages that look and behave like computer programs, rather than static pages. ActiveX controls may be used with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to interact with web pages. ActiveX controls provide functions similar to Java Applets.

A technology developed by Microsoft based on reusable software components that can interact with one another, especially in a networked environment. ActiveX components can be written in any of a number of programming languages. The technology is the basis for creating the ActiveX controls often used to customize and add interactivity to Web pages.

is the Microsoft specification for reusable components. ActiveX is based on COM, the Component Object Model. COM is an open standard that specifies how components interact and interoperate. ActiveX permits packaging of code for reuse. This package, in this case, is an ActiveX "Component". There are several types of ActiveX Components: ActiveX Controls, ActiveX Documents, and Code Components. (Originally, ActiveX Components were called OLE Servers and ActiveX Servers.)

An ActiveX component is a COM component that is intended to be portable across more than one platform. Among other things, ActiveX controls can be downloaded from a web server and operate on the client computer outside of the web browser. This is in contrast to a Java applet, which can only operate within the confines of a web browser. ActiveX controls were originally called OLE controls before they were modified to work over the internet.

The Windows standard for component-based software. ActiveX defines a hierarchy of components, objects, and interfaces. ActiveX components are made up of one or more objects, where each object encapsulates functionality and data. ActiveX objects expose their functionality and data to other components through one or more interfaces.

ActiveX controls are software modules based on Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) architecture. They add functionality to software applications by seamlessly incorporating pre-made modules with the basic software package. Modules can be interchanged but still appear as parts of the original software. On the Internet, ActiveX controls can be linked to Web pages and downloaded by an ActiveX-compliant browser. ...

In programming, the Component Object Model (COM), also known as ActiveX, is a Microsoft technology for software componentry. 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.
