Write COM Applications to Work withMATLAB

使用MATLAB^®as a COM Automation Server

Automation is a COM protocol that allows one application (thecontroller或者client) to control objects exported by another application (theserver). MATLAB supports COM Automation server capabilities on Microsoft^®视窗^®operating systems. Any Windows program that can be configured as an Automation client can control MATLAB. Some examples areMicrosoft Excel^®和Microsoft Access™, as well asMicrosoft Visual Basic^®和Microsoft Visual C++^®程式。

To get started writing applications to call MATLAB as a COM Automation server:

Register MATLAB as a COM server.
Create a MATLAB serverin your application.
Learn how to map MATLAB data to COM types.
- To call MATLAB functions,convert COM types to MATLAB types.
- To use MATLAB data in your application,convert MATLAB types to COM types.
For examples, see:
- Call MATLAB Function from C# Client
- Call MATLAB Function from Visual Basic .NET Client

如果使用C，C ++或FORTRAN构建客户端应用程序，请使用MATLAB引擎应用程序而不是自动化服务器。有关更多信息，请参阅Choosing Engine Applications.

To access COM components from MATLAB, seeUse COM Objects in MATLAB.

Troubleshooting

Waiting for MATLAB Application to Complete

When you call a MATLAB function from another program, the program might display a timeout message while waiting for the MATLAB function to complete.
