You will have to do a bit of reading starting with the User Manual and/or Labview Help e.g.

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/using-activex-with-labview.html

There are also examples of labview in the example finder to let you see some activex controls in action.

The NI webite site has plenty of information you just need to search it. You could provide a little more detail on the activex control. Somebody might have some basic examples to get you started.

PS: ActiveX controls need to be registered on the system. This is normal done when you are running the installation that contains the activex control. Otherwise it will need to be registered using regsvr32.exe (I think) in windows.
