MATLAB® Builder™ NE

General Techniques

After you package and install a COM component created by the MATLAB Builder NE product, 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 builder

  • Registering and Referencing the Utility Library

  • Creating an Instance of a Class in Microsoft Visual Basic

• Call methods of the component class

  • Calling the Methods of a Class Instance

  • Calling a COM Object in a Visual C++ Program

  • Adding Events to COM Objects

  • Obtaining Registry Information

• Deal with data conversion and parameter passing

  • Passing Arguments

  • Using Flags to Control Array Formatting and Data Conversion

  • Using MATLAB Global Variables in Microsoft Visual Basic

• Process errors

  • Handling Errors During a Method Call

Note   These topics provide general information on how to integrate COM components created with the builder 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 builder. 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.
