    Question What does OCX stand for? [Resolved]

    Does ne1 know or have an idea what does the .OCX extension stand for.
    (I know those are ActiveX controls if that was your answer. I wonder what it means.)

    Perheps .ACX was taken?
    Some other guesses:
    Object Collection eXtension
    Object Controll eXtension

    I've always assumed it was a combination of Object Linking and Embedding custom control (which is what it is) and ActiveX.
