What is ActiveX?


ActiveX is a software technology introduced by Microsoft that enables web content and programmed capabilities to be seamlessly transferred to a Windows computer.

Overview


Initially evolving from OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) and COM (Component Object Model) technologies, ActiveX was designed to facilitate user interaction with content on MS Windows, such as viewing Word or Excel documents directly in a web browser. However, its poor security features led to concerns among computer experts.

OLE (Object Linking and Embedding)


OLE enables objects from one application, like an Excel table, to be embedded into another, such as a Word document. This functionality allows multiple users to work on separate sections of a master file, which can then be easily compiled into a final document.

Development and Legacy


Microsoft rebranded OLE as ActiveX in 1996 but discontinued support in 2005 following a patent lawsuit. As a result, modern Internet Explorer browsers require users to manually activate ActiveX controls to interact with media files like Flash or QuickTime. Previously, simply hovering over a media item or opening a page would activate it, but now users must manually engage with the media to access its features.
