ActiveX is a Microsoft-proprietary framework for defining and accessing interfaces to system resources, in a programming-language independent way.

It's used in many Microsoft Windows applications such as: internet-explorer, ms-office, visual-studio, and windows-media-player.
These applications also encapsulate their own functionality as ActiveX controls for other applications to use. Internet Explorer also allows embedding ActiveX controls onto web pages.

ActiveX is a successor to Microsoft's earlier com and ole technologies.

Projects, such as firebreath, facilitate developing plugins as both NPAPI plugins and ActiveX controls.
