ActiveX Animation

ActiveX Animation :-

An animation that utilizes ActiveX technology, typically embedded in web pages or applications to deliver interactive multimedia content such as videos, vector graphics, or motion effects. These animations rely on ActiveX controls, which are small program modules developed using Microsoft’s Component Object Model (COM) framework.

Usage Notes:-

  • Common in older versions of Internet Explorer and Windows-based applications.
  • Often used for custom UI elements, data visualizations, or interactive tutorials in enterprise software.
  • Security concerns have led to a decline in its usage, with modern web standards (like HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript) replacing ActiveX in most scenarios.

Example:
A company intranet page from the early 2000s might display a rotating 3D model of a product using an ActiveX animation embedded in the HTML.
