How do you download the ActiveX control. I need to activate Microsoft Reader.
An ActiveX Control is a reusable software component that can be used to add functionality to applications and webpages. It allows for interactive and multimedia content to be embedded within a webpage.
An ActiveX Control is based on the Component Object Model (COM) and is written in a programming language such as C++, Visual Basic, or Java. It can be downloaded and installed on a user's computer, allowing the control to be used by multiple applications.
ActiveX Controls offer a wide range of functionalities and can be easily integrated into webpages and applications. They also provide a consistent user experience and can be updated and maintained separately from the application or webpage.
Yes, there have been security concerns with ActiveX Controls in the past, as they can potentially be used to execute malicious code on a user's computer. It is important to only download and install ActiveX Controls from trusted sources.
While ActiveX Control was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, it is now less commonly used due to the rise of alternative technologies such as JavaScript and HTML5. However, it is still used in some legacy applications and websites.
