Yeah, an OCX is an OLE Custom Control, or an AcitveX control. They're often used to allow Visual Basic programs to have access to controls written for C++, but they have many other uses. For instance, a Visual Basic program that wants to do standard Winsock programming can use the Microsoft Winsock ActiveX control to have an abstract interface into Winsock. It's kind of like a class, that gets packaged into a file (OCX) that gets used at run-time. I don't know why the didn't just use a DLL instead of an OCX...
How is ActiveX related to COM/DCOM ? Would the reaktivate code beuseful in implementing all those COM related ole32 functions?
Daniel
The Only thing I know about the relationship is that ActiveX is one of the technologies built on top of COM.
