How do I import a character array from MATLAB into VB using ActiveX?

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

You can use the GetCharArray interface to import a character array from MATLAB (as an automation server) workspace into your VB application. The following code shows a small example:

Function test()

Dim MatLab As Object

Dim Result As String

Set MatLab = CreateObject("Matlab.Application")

MatLab.Execute ("a='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'")

Result = MatLab.GetCharArray("a", "base")

End Function

You can use the PutCharArray interface to send a character array from the client to the MATLAB automation server.
