ActiveX| In computing, 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. |
