The core technologies that enable ActiveX include COM/DCOM (the object mod
el), ObjectRPC (the transport), the registry (a database of component locations), monikers, automation, and structured storage. All ActiveX components can be started the same way: The client calls CoCreateInstance. Unless the call specifies a particular remote machine, the call checks with the local registry database to locate the called component.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
