What is ActiveX ?
ActiveX is a software framework developed by Microsoft that enables developers to create reusable software components for use in various applications. These components can be used to add functionality to applications or to create standalone applications.
ActiveX components are typically written in languages like C++ or Visual Basic, and they can be used in a variety of applications, including web browsers, desktop applications, and server applications. ActiveX components are designed to be easy to use and to provide a high level of functionality, making it possible for developers to create complex applications with a minimal amount of code.
However, ActiveX has been largely phased out in recent years due to security concerns, as it has been found to be vulnerable to malware and other attacks. Many modern web browsers no longer support ActiveX components, and developers are encouraged to use alternative technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript for web development.
