MATLAB COM Builder

Overview

Each MATLAB COM Builder component is built as a stand-alone COM object. You access a component through Visual Basic, C++, or any other language that supports COM. This section provides general information on how to integrate MATLAB COM Builder components into Visual Basic. It assumes that you have a working knowledge of VB and is not intended to be a discussion on how to program in Visual Basic. Refer to the VB documentation for general programming information.

You can easily integrate MATLAB COM Builder components into a VB project by creating a simple code module with functions and/or subroutines that load the necessary components, call methods as needed, and process any errors. In general, you need to address seven items in any code written to use MATLAB COM Builder components:

• Adding Class Properties to COM Builder Objects
• Adding Events to COM Builder Objects
• Creating an Instance of a Class
• Calling the Methods of a Class Instance
• Processing varargin and varargout Arguments
• Handling Errors During a Method Call
• Modifying Flags

Note    All code samples in this section are for illustration purposes and reference a hypothetical class named myclass contained in a component named mycomponent with a version number of 1.0.
