OCX files are developer files that are mainly associated with ActiveX Controls, which are "small programs sometimes also called 'add-ons,' that are used on the Internet," according to Microsoft Online Safety. Moreover, OCX files contain control behaviors that are activated by program events or users.
You can create, open and edit OCX files with development software such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft Visual Basic.
