Article: ActiveX is
a software framework created by Microsoft that adapts its earlier Component Object Model (COM) and Object Linking and Embedding(OLE)
technologies for content downloaded from a network, particularly in the context
of the World Wide Web. It was introduced in 1996 and is
commonly used in its Windows operating system. In principle it is
not dependent on Microsoft Windows, but in practice, most ActiveX
controls require either Microsoft Windows or a Windows emulator. Most also
require the client to be running on Intel x86 hardware, because they contain
compiled code.
Many Microsoft Windows
applications — including many of those from Microsoft itself, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Windows Media Player — use ActiveX controls to build their
feature-set and also encapsulate their own functionality as ActiveX controls
which can then be embedded into other applications. Internet Explorer also
allows the embedding of ActiveX controls in web
pages.
However, ActiveX will
not work on all platforms, so using ActiveX
controls to implement essential functionality of a web page restricts its
usefulness.
Countries like South Korea have started to remove this technology
from their public websites.
