The VBX file extension indicates a Visual Basic Custom Control resource file. These are files which are associated with the development environment of the Microsoft Visual Basic program. The custom controls referenced by the VBX file can include dialog windows, toolbars, and components of Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel. This type of file is used to store and manipulate applets, animations, graphics, multimedia components, and 3D models.
File Format
The VBX extension is used as a binary file format, and is responsible for maintaining a range of visual data components required by the Windows operating system. Compatible with both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows, the VBX file allows for engineering Visual Basic applications. It is part of the development environment which enables a user to create Windows programs that feature multiple menus, images, user interface elements, and other interactive features.
Other Extensions
Object Linking and Embedding Technology (OLE custom controls) are also commonly stored using the OCX, CNT, and MLB extensions. Older versions of Visual Basic use the symbol VB, while other software development languages use the extensions DLL, DCP, and EXE.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VBX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VBX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VBX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VBX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VBX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VBX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VBX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VBX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VBX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VBX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
