44 \title Using ActiveX controls and COM objects in Qt
45
46 \brief The QAxContainer module is a Windows-only extension for
47 accessing ActiveX controls and COM objects.
48
49 The QAxContainer module is part of the \l ActiveQt framework. It
50 provides a library implementing a QWidget subclass, QAxWidget,
51 that acts as a container for ActiveX controls, and a QObject
52 subclass, QAxObject, that can be used to easily access non-visual
53 COM objects. Scripting COM objects embedded using these classes
54 is possible through the QAxScript, QAxScriptManager and
55 QAxScriptEngine classes, and a set of \l{Tools for ActiveQt}{tools}
56 makes it easy to access COM objects programmatically.
57
58 The module consists of six classes
59 \list 1
60 \o QAxBase is an abstract class that provides an API to initialize
61 and access a COM object or ActiveX control.
62 \o QAxObject provides a QObject that wraps a COM object.
63 \o QAxWidget is a QWidget that wraps an ActiveX control.
64 \o QAxScriptManager, QAxScript and QAxScriptEngine provide an
65 interface to the Windows Script Host.
