macOS / UNIX Support For Excel ActiveX

The TWS API Excel ActiveX Implementation is built around the Component Object Model (COM) architecture. The COM object and it’s derivatives like ActiveX and OLE (Compound Documents) are built exclusively into Microsoft Windows and are reliant on the Operating System’s Registry structure.

Given the underlying technology of ActiveX requires Windows-specific architecture regarding it’s registry, the TWSAPI Excel ActiveX functionality is not available in the Mac and Unix distribution of the TWSAPI offering.
