In MATLAB, it is possible to use actxcontrol to create an ActiveX control in a figure window so that external programs can be accessed and controlled from within MATLAB. However, it is stated in MATLAB documentation (relase 14) that "COM controls are not printed with figure windows", so as a result, whatever created in the figure window with ActiveX control could not be printed or saved as graphical file format (jpg, png,etc). Is there anyway to work around this limitation in MATLAB?
