Documentation

After you package and install a COM component, you can access the component in any program that supports COM, such as Microsoft^® Visual Basic^®, Microsoft Visual C++^®, or Visual C#.

Your code module must do the following:

• Load the components created by the compiler

  • Register and Reference the Utility Library

• Call methods of the component class

  • Call the Methods of a Class Instance

  • Call COM Objects in Visual C++ Programs

  • Obtain Registry Information

• Deal with data conversion and parameter passing

  • Pass Arguments

  • Control Array Formatting and Data Conversion

  • Use MATLAB Global Variables in Visual Basic

• Process errors

  • Handle Errors During a Method Call

Note:   These topics provide general information on how to integrate COM components created with the compiler into your COM-compliant programs. The presentation focuses on the special programming techniques needed for components based on the MATLAB® product and generated by the compiler. It assumes that you have a working knowledge of the programming language used in these programs. For information about programming with COM objects in Microsoft Visual Studio®, see articles in the MSDN Library, such as Calling COM Components from .NET Clients.
