ActiveX is a overused buzz world in the industry.
A better word to use would be object linking
and embedding (OLE) -- to describe how TS2000
uses COM
ActiveX is a word that describes a technology formally
known as OLE automation.
Now on the OLE automation side there are two sides
the server and the client.
Currently TS2000 has been written as a Server. All this
means is that TS2000 has provided you with an object
model to control certain aspects of TS2000 from any
automation client. i.e. Excel, VB, C++ etc...
TS2000 is NOT a automation client. This means it has
no support for automation control for ActiveX controls or components
built by C++ or Visual Basic. So no Third party ActiveX integration.
There are a lot of buzz worlds being thrown out and you really
need to dig deep to understand what certain products can and
can't do.
Yes, I have used the COM technology in the new TS2000. In
my opinion it really sucks. They added it to give newbies a new
buzz word and that's about it.
