OCX
(redirected from OLE custom control)

   Also found in: Acronyms 0.01 sec.
OCX
(OLE Control EXtension) A component software technology from Microsoft that enables a Windows program to add functionality by calling ready-made components. Generally called "OLE controls" or "OLE custom controls," they appear to the end user as just another part of the program.

OCXs are Microsoft's second-generation component architecture. Unlike first-generation 16-bit Visual Basic controls (VBXs), which were only written in Visual Basic, OCXs can be written in several languages and come in 16-bit and 32-bit versions. OCXs were renamed ActiveX controls and continue to use the .OCX file extension. See VBX and ActiveX control.

OCXs Are ActiveX Controls
OCXs (ActiveX controls) can be stored locally or remotely, but they are run locally.

2 includes a new OCX that allows application developers to access the powerful capabilities of Interleaf's document management and publishing network services through a simple and easy-to-use OLE custom control.
New features also include: -0- -- fault tolerance that protects against system failures and processing shut-down, -- the ability to set dependencies between processes anywhere in the system (not just within the same schedule), -- notification sent to a pager when processing is completed or when a problem occurs, and -- an enhanced OLE Custom Control (OCX) API that can be used to schedule and control processes from other applications.
Internet ToolPak is built around six OLE custom controls (OCXs) and an Internet Mail Wizard to make development of applications quick and painless.
