# ActiveX Control Overview

Linux ActiveX controls are not supported.

ActiveX controls are components external to LabWindows/CVI, which can be used in much the same way as built-in LabWindows/CVI controls. ActiveX controls vary in the functionality that they provide. For example, and ActiveX control might be used to store and manipulate different types of data, for word processing and report generation, for mathematical calculations, or to access the internet.

Most ActiveX controls include documentation describing their features and the details of how to access their functionality.
