There is a significant difference between the terms "programming
language" and "platform". ActiveX is a Windows-Only-'invention' and by
using ActiveX-controls you'll lock your application to the Windows
platform.
If you don't want to use C/C++ you might have a look at the other
languages that are being offered on both 'continents'. You have the
option of using Pascal (FreePascal/Lazarus ond Unix and Delphi on
Windows) or, if you like scripting languages, you could have a look at
Perl or Python and the respective user interface toolkits, which are
indeed real cross-platform environments.
Cheers,
Martin.
