what is the proper ActiveX to embed Excel in GUI

2 views (last 30 days)
This ActiveX is used to embed Excel in GUI.
If my excel version is Excel2003,I can use ActiveX 'OWC11.Spreadsheet.11'.For exampple, Spreadsheet1 = actxcontrol('OWC11.Spreadsheet.11',pos)
But what if my excel version is Excel2010 and Excel2013? Is there a similar ActiveX like 'OWC11.Spreadsheet.11' in excel? Thanks!

Be careful, the "Click to Run" version does not support much ActiveX. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/click-to-run-known-issues-HA101850565.aspx
There is no OCW12 or later; 2007 was the last supported version. A new architecture was used after that; see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms582023.aspx. I am not familiar with the differences between the various choices.

I have an .m file that uses activex and I am having a similar problem now that I use Windows 8.
Are there optional work arounds? Run/install matlab in 32 bit mode, install owc11, others?
