ActiveX Components

Creating Microsoft ActiveX components can be a powerful way of enforcing business rules. Many applications within an organization will need to access a common set of business rules, creating a uniform look and feel. For example, you could create an ActiveX control that wraps your favorite grid control, and build additional functionality such as allowing the user to cut and paste rows of data. Centralizing these rules into an ActiveX server makes sense. That ActiveX server can then be considered base code.
