External Interfaces/API Features

MATLAB 7.0.1 adds the following features and enhancements to the External Interfaces:

Function Handles in COM Event Callbacks

MATLAB now supports function handles as callbacks for ActiveX objects. This example passes a function handle that maps to sampev to registerevent:

cd $matlabroot\toolbox\matlab\winfun
h = actxcontrol('mwsamp.mwsampctrl.2', [0 0 200 200]); 
registerevent(h, @sampev);            % Click the control.

Registering Events for COM Servers and Controls

With MATLAB 7.0.1, you can register events for COM servers as well as for COM controls.

Expanded Support for Web Services (SOAP and WSDL)

This version expands MATLAB support for Web services, that is, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL). These are some of the key enhancements:

MATLAB now supports document style messages, in addition to the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style supported in version 7.0.
MATLAB preserves the case in method, class, and object names.
Web services functions now decode results that use Base64 encoding.
The createClassFromWsdl function now supports WSDL files that define multiple services.
