Used for developing reusable object oriented software components. ActiveX is an alternate name for OLE automation, not a separate technology. While the term ''automation'' refers to the overall technology, ''ActiveX'' refers to the objects that can be created and manipulated using automation. Due to [[Internet Explorer]]'s and [[Visual Basic]]'s popularity in the late 1990s, many people incorrectly assume that all of ActiveX is related to ActiveX controls. An ActiveX control is a special type of ActiveX object that is designed to be used similar to a [[plugin]]. The most common use of ActiveX controls is to build plugins for Internet Explorer.

The popular Adobe [[Flash]] is packaged as an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer.
