CTI OS ActiveX Controls
The CTI OS Developer's Toolkit includes a set of ActiveX controls to enable rapid application 
development. ActiveX controls are typically UI components (there are also ActiveX controls which are 
invisible at run time) that enable easy drag-and-drop creation of custom CTI applications in a variety of 
container applications. Container applications include: Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Internet 
Explorer, Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1(1), Borland Delphi, Sybase Powerbuilder and other applications 
supporting the OC96 ActiveX standard.
The CTI OS Agent Desktop and CTI OS Supervisor Desktop for Unified CCE applications are both 
Visual Basic applications based on the CTI OS ActiveX controls. 
See also the CTI OS Agent Desktop User Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & 
Hosted

Controls into Agent Related Controls, Call Related Buttons, Statistics Controls, and Supervisor
