Visual Basic & C++ Tools

One of the reason for Visual Basics popularity is the capability to expand the language through third party tools. These are often referred to as Custom Controls, OLE Controls, Active X Controls, OCXs & VBXs. OCXs are the newest format available and OCX controls can be 16 or 32 bit controls. VBXs are the older style controls that are only available in 16 bit format.
