Summary
You've now been taken on a whirlwind tour of ActiveX. This hour summarizes ActiveX and how ActiveX fits in with Visual Basic programming. ActiveX controls are becoming more important as Internet-based use grows because of the strong interaction ActiveX controls have with ActiveX-enabled Web browsers.
The next hour covers another fairly advanced issue: Visual Basic objects. By learning how to work with objects through code, you'll be able to increase the capabilities of your applications.
