MATLAB Runtime Server

Installing the Example Files

This example consists of the files listed below, located in toolbox\runtime\examples\activex directory.

File	Description
myappVB.frm	Visual Basic files
myappVB.vbp
myappVB.vbw
myapp.m	MATLAB Runtime Server application files
myapp_init.m
myapp_draw.m
myapp_erase.m
matlabrt.m	MATLAB Runtime Server startup files
pathdefrt.m

To install the files, follow the instructions below. To prevent any confusion about which files you are working with, try to avoid having duplicates of these files in other locations on your path.

Visual Basic Files.   Move the Visual Basic files to any convenient location on your hard disk. For example, you can put them in a directory called c:\myappVB.

MATLAB Application Files.   Create a directory called mydir in the toolbox directory of your development copy of MATLAB.

Add it to the MATLAB path using the command below.

• addpath(fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox','mydir'));
  

The new mydir directory should be at the same level as the toolbox\local and toolbox\runtime directories. Move the following files from toolbox\runtime\examples\activex into toolbox\mydir.

• myapp.m
  myapp_init.m
  myapp_draw.m
  myapp_erase.m 
  

MATLAB Startup Functions.   Move matlabrt.m and pathdefrt.m into the toolbox\local directory of your development copy of MATLAB, alongside the matlabrc.m and pathdef.m files.
