Does actxserver support multiple return parameters?

[Jesper Holm]

Hi,

I'm new to octave so forgive me if I ask some stupid questions. My problem
is this: My company has been using Matlab for many years. We use Matlabs
actxserver to "connect" to an in-house developed COM server. It works well
in Matlab but I'm having troubles when using Octave.

I can call all the simple COM server functions without problems so I know
that the COM server handle is "valid" and that basic interfacing works. My
problems starts when I try to access functions that use "output parameters".
An example:

bool myFunc(out bool dataReady, out string errorMsg);

When called from Matlab I use something like:

[res dataReady errorMsg] = hComServer.myFunc()

This does not work in Octave. I've tried to change the call to something
like:

res = hComServer.myFunc(1,1).

By supplying two dummy args I can get the "res" result just fine but I
cannot get my hands on the other two return parameters.

I suspect that the Octave implementation does not support multiple return
parameters. Can someone please confirm this or perhaps tell me what I'm
doing wrong?

Regards,
Jesper
