With Microsoft COM (Component Object Model) tools and technologies, you can integrate application-specific components from different vendors into your own applications. With COM, MATLAB software can include Microsoft® ActiveX® controls or OLE server processes, or you can configure MATLAB as a computational server controlled by your client application programs.
For example, you can:
Include ActiveX® components, like a calendar, in your MATLAB program.
Access existing applications that expose objects via Automation, like Microsoft® Excel®.
Access MATLAB as an Automation server from an application written in Microsoft® Visual Basic® or C programming languages.
COM support in MATLAB is only available on the Microsoft Windows platform.
