The OCX is a Windows Control that can be inserted into a Windows Form Application. The App can than make API calls to the OCX to open/display qvw files. The OCX is basically the QV Desktop application without any user interface menu bar etc.
We use the OCX in our application in a variety of ways, e.g. to open multiple qvw files at the same time and when you select in one qvw the same selection is made in the other qvw.
