Using MATLAB as a DCOM Server Client

Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is an object distribution mechanism that allows clients to use remote COM objects over a network. Additionally, MATLAB can be used as a DCOM client with remote Automation servers if the operating system on which MATLAB is running is DCOM enabled.

Note    If you use MATLAB as a remote DCOM server, all MATLAB windows will appear on the remote machine.

MATLAB COM Support Limitations

The following is a list of limitations of MATLAB COM support:

• MATLAB only supports indexed collections.
• COM controls are not printed with figure windows.
• MATLAB supports events from controls only, not from servers.
• MATLAB supports only the IDispatch interface. It does not support custom interfaces.
