MATLAB Runtime Server

ActiveX Automation Example

This example illustrates the steps involved in preparing an ActiveX Automation-based Visual Basic application for the MATLAB Runtime Server on PC platforms. The major steps in the procedure are the same as those for the MATLAB GUI example in Developing a MATLAB Runtime GUI Application:

• Creating the startup files matlabrt.m and pathdefrt.m
• Compiling the application with the buildp command
• Testing the application with the Runtime Server variant

The example application uses two of the MATLAB Engine's ActiveX API methods, Execute and GetFullMatrix. The Execute method accepts a string argument and evaluates it in the MATLAB workspace. The GetFullMatrix method returns the real and imaginary components of a workspace matrix in two separate variables. See External Interfaces in the MATLAB documentation set for more information about these methods.

Note    This example works with version 5 and later of Microsoft Visual Basic.

This section begins with instructions for installing the example files included in the software.
