What is ActiveX?
"ActiveX is the consumer
brand name for all Microsoft COM-based technologies....
Tylenol is an easy-to-remember, more consumer-friendly brand name for a drug called
Acetaminophen. In this same way, ActiveX is an easy-to-remember, more
consumer-friendly name for COM. ActiveX certainly sounds much cooler than COM.
The reason so many people are confused by the name
ActiveX is because the definition changed.
Originally ActiveX was a brand name for all COM-based Microsoft technologies that
had utility on the World Wide Web."
---- Alan Gordon (The COM and COM+
Programming Primer)
32 or 64-bit?
Most ActiveXs are 32-bit components, you must select 32-bit code
option when using 64-bit compilers. Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows runs 32-bit
applications properly.
