OLE: Easy Communications and Interactions Between Objects

                                                                                         

OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) is Microsoft’s technology that allows interlinking and embedding between objects and documents. It is a framework used for a compound document technology, where each object of a display program, be it text, animation motion video or sound is an independent entity and can interact and communicate with other objects. Web development services use OLE as an excellent technology to display visualizations and data of other programs in their web pages.
OLE gives freedom to a developer to export some part of a document to another program or editor. For example, the word processor can export some text to desktop publishing system using the OLE technology. The actual use of OLE is to import data or visualizations in the host program because the host program cannot create its own. For example, you can embed a graph in a text document since the document cannot generate itself.
The “embedding” concept is also used frequently in web pages and a web development service knows it’s various benefits in a website development. Through OLE, flash video and animation as well as audio files can be included within a page created using simple HTML or XHTML language or structural language such as SGML or XML. The concept of embedding introduced a new approach called OLE custom controls: the precursor of ActiveX controls.
With the introduction of OLE custom controls in 1994, a container supporting OLE 2.0 version could easily embed the custom controls. In an attempt to keep the size of the file down, the interfaces for the OLE custom controls were made optional in 1996. Thus, the controls were able to download faster. This introduced the concept of ActiveX controls.
A web site development service creates ActiveX controls to serve as small building blocks for web browsers. These customized applications allows viewers to view files, video and 3D animations. Offshore web development companies use scripting language to embed interactive data and animation in HTML documents.
