Hey guys!

I bought a book, that say a little about activeX..
It came with a little example about the clock and a date thing...

But I didnt understood very well what is an active x.... Its something inside of VB? Like a form, Module? Or its a new program language?

I didnt understood the point of using an activeX in the example, cause I could do the same thing (the clock and the date) with labels...and timers.. and things like that....

In what situation activeX is required? The impression that I have is that is something like the macromedia flash? Its right?

Thanks for your time,

Elminster
