refimprove date July 2009 In computer programming , a Visual Basic Extension commonly abbreviated VBX or custom control , was the software component component model used in Microsoft Visual Basic versions 1.0 to 3.0. It is still supported in the 16 bit version of version 4.0, but was made obsolete by OCXs. VBX has also been supported in some versions of Borland Delphi . The VBX specification was created so that developers could extend Visual Basic . Since at the time Visual Basic was an interpreted language with limited speed, VBXs, which were most often written in C or C , provided the ability to create very powerful and efficient user interface sub components which could be assembled into applications using Visual Basic as the glue. Visual Basic 4.0 added support for the newer OLE Controls or OCX s which became ActiveX controls , implicitly deprecating VBX controls. OCXs are based on the Component Object Model . Each version of Visual Basic has come with many controls. By incorporating VBX controls into Visual Basic, Microsoft spawned the first commercially viable market for reusable software component s. Third party software component Third parties have created a large market of custom controls for resale. VBX components were called custom controls because the Microsoft development team envisioned them as visual control components like a toggle switch or button. Enterprising third party software component developers saw opportunities to use the VBX specification for non visual components, such as components for creating ZIP file format ZIP files , manipulating low level system settings and communicating with TCP IP .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In computer programming , a third party software component is a reusable software component developed to be either freely distributed or sold by an entity other than the original vendor of the development platform. The third party software component market thrives because many programmers believe that Component based software engineering component oriented development improves the efficiency and quality of developing custom applications. However this belief may be misplaced because the majority of these components are not subject to the same quality controls that one would expect to find in other industries. It is rare to find a software component that was developed in accordance with a general standard such as ISO 9001 , let alone a more specific standard that would be applicable to the function of the component. For instance, there is a British Standards Institution specification BS 6117 1981, that details the requirements for the performance and characteristics of glass bottles for light wine, however no such standard exists for a software component that would provide a Java logging framework . Which means that the user of such a software component would not be able to rely on it having a predictable behaviour. Visual Basic Microsoft Visual Basic Spawned the first commercially viable market for reusable software components. Visual Basic s first extensibility mechanism was the specification for Visual Basic Extension s, commonly known as custom controls . In version 4.0 of Visual Basic, the OCX custom control was introduced to replace VBX. OCX was later renamed ActiveX and then component object model COM . In version 7.0 of Visual Basic, also known as VB.NET , Microsoft introduced the Microsoft .NET .NET Component to replace both VBX and ActiveX. It was still possible to use many ActiveX components in VB.NET by wrapping them in a .NET layer. See also Enterprise Java Beans Visual component library VCL Component Library ... more details
