    57     \brief An overview of Qt's ActiveX and COM integration on Windows.

    62     Qt's ActiveX and COM support allows Qt for Windows developers to:
       
    63 
       
    64     \list 1
       
    65     \o Access and use ActiveX controls and COM objects provided by any 
       
    66     ActiveX server in their Qt applications.
       
    67     \o Make their Qt applications available as COM servers, with
       
    68     any number of Qt objects and widgets as COM objects and ActiveX 
       
    69     controls.
       
    70     \endlist
       
    71 
       
    72     The ActiveQt framework consists of two modules:
       
    73 
       
    74     \list
       
    75     \o The \l QAxContainer module is a static
       
    76        library implementing QObject and QWidget subclasses, QAxObject and
       
    77        QAxWidget, that act as containers for COM objects and ActiveX
       
    78        controls.
       
    79     \o The \l QAxServer module is a static library that implements
       
    80        functionality for in-process and executable COM servers. This
       
    81        module provides the QAxAggregated, QAxBindable and QAxFactory
       
    82        classes.
       
    83     \endlist
       
    84 
       
    85     To build the static libraries, change into the \c activeqt directory 
       
    86     (usually \c QTDIR/src/activeqt), and run \c qmake and your make
       
    87     tool in both the \c container and the \c control subdirectory.
       
    88     The libraries \c qaxcontainer.lib and \c qaxserver.lib will be linked
       
    89     into \c QTDIR/lib.
       
    90 
       
    91     If you are using a shared configuration of Qt enter the \c plugin
       
    92     subdirectory and run \c qmake and your make tool to build a
       
    93     plugin that integrates the QAxContainer module into \l{Qt
       
    94     Designer}.
       
    95 
       
    96     The ActiveQt modules are part of the \l{Qt Full Framework Edition} and
       
    97     the \l{Open Source Versions of Qt}.
