I want to read the activeX.bin file that is created by inserting a activeX checkbox in the Word application. I want to read its caption, state, and other properties that the user set? How can I do this? Can someone suggest the way forward? Either I use MFC ActiveX control to read.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Open Specification Support.
Here are the Open Specification on ActiveX -
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_standards/ms-oe376/b30a660a-95eb-4716-b201-a46aae788610
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_protocols/ms-ocproto/6e7cd839-da3e-4e3e-980f-fac38f835ccfHere is a C# example using Open XML SDK (this would only work if you are dealing with .docx not .doc).
I also added tag [office-addins-dev] see if they have additional ideas.
