On the Internet, ActiveX controls can be linked to a Web page and downloaded by a compliant Web browser. Such controls turn Web pages into software as if the program were launched from a server. Like any executable program running in the computer, ActiveX controls can perform any operation on your data. This is why the default configuration in most Web browsers is to prompt the user if an ActiveX control is being requested so the user can decide to download it or not (not always an easy decision).

ActiveX including different kinds of 3D buttons, switches, knobs, sliders, switch sliders, switchknobs and others can be widely applied in many industry HMI applications and Simulation

environments.
