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?

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.

  • @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. – Murta Apr 18 '15 at 12:02
