Active X Plugin for IE

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

ActiveX control is software component based on Microsoft's ActiveX technology that is used to add interactivity and more functionality, such as animation or a popup menu, to a Web page. An ActiveX control can be written in any number of languages, including Java, C++, and Visual Basic.

Microsoft has developed a large number of products and software platforms using ActiveX objects, and many are still in use till today.

• ActiveX Data Object ADO
• Active Server Pages
• ActiveMovie (DriectShow)
• Active Messaging (Collaboration Data Object)
• Active Scripting
• ActiveX Streaming Format (Advance Syatems Format)

ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating systems. This gives them much more power than Java applets, but with this power comes a certain risk that the ActiveX control may damage software or data on your machine.

Another difference between Java applets and ActiveX controls is that Java applets can be written to run on all platforms, whereas ActiveX controls are currently limited to Windows environments.
