Long time ago I did this question to MathGroup, but without success.

In Excel VBA, in Tool/References, there is a option called "Wolfram Mathematica Control 8.0 Type Library"

I belive that Mathematica link for Excel uses that. Someone knows how to use it? Any code examples?

  • $\begingroup$ @P.Fonseca I was wondering if I could link Excel and WL using Enterprise CDF with this component.. would be very interesting. $\endgroup$

The Wolfram Mathematica Control is the COM footprint of the CDF Player Internet Explorer plug-in. Here is the information page for the plug-in from the Internet Explorer Add-on Manager:

The registry entries for the DLL are as is typical for Internet Explorer plug-ins, especially the EnableFullPage and Implemented Categories keys.

The type library exposes few members, largely useful only when the player is embedded within Internet Explorer:

Alas, this COM object would seem to offer little of value within the context of Excel.

  • $\begingroup$ @WReach Tks +1. Interesting... I added the reference and tested a small Sub: Sub testMathControl(); Set mc = New MathControl; End Sub And wolfram kernel as lunched in Task Manager. But no idea on how to communicate to it. $\endgroup$
