Dictionary of Computers - ActiveX
ActiveX
Microsoft's umbrella name for a collection of technologies used to create applications that run on the World Wide Web or on intranets.
ActiveX is based on DCOM (Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model) and uses ActiveX Controls, which are a lightweight version of OLE (object linking and embedding) Custom Controls or OCXs. It also includes scripting languages such as JavaScript and VB Script (Visual Basic Script), and a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
ActiveX was announced in 1996, and later that year was handed to the Open Group to manage its development and turn it into a cross-platform industry standard.
