I am trying to use the built-in activex functions in MATLAB (2009b). In the past, under Windows Vista, the functions seem to work fine. Say, actxcontrollist returns a few hundred activex controls. However, I'm now using Windows 7, and actxcontrollist returns only a few dozen and the one I want to use is not in the list. Using external programs, I verify that my setup does indeed have a few hundred activex controls. So the MATLAB environment is failing to detect quite a few of them.

I am no Windows guru and I have googled for a long time and seems like a few other people have the same issue but no helpful responses. Could somebody knowledgeable here please help me out? Thank you very much in advance!

Are you using 64-bit windows?

Yes I am. Sorry, I neglected to mention that, and that the Vista that worked was in 32-bit.

installing 32-bit matlab does the trick. thanks for the idea.

Yeah, most activex controls wont work in 64 bit matlab.
