Why do I receive an error when I try to create the .EXE file in the Magic Square demo of the documentation for MATLAB Builder for COM 1.1.4 (R14SP2)?

When I try to create the executable in the Magic Square demo of the MATLAB Builder for COM documentation located at:

 web([docroot,'/toolbox/combuilder/ug/f11621.html'])

I receive the following error message from my Visual Basic editor:

 Compiler error

 Userdefined type not defined

There is an error in the documentation for MATLAB Builder for COM 1.1.4 (R14SP2).

The Visual Basic code on the page entitled "Creating the User Interface" contains errors on lines 2 and 7. This page is found by executing the following command at the MATLAB command prompt.

 web([docroot,'/toolbox/combuilder/ug/f11930.html'])

The second line::

Private theMagic As magicdemo.magic 'magic object instance

should be replaced with:

Private theMagic As magicdemo.magicdemoclass 'magic object instance

and line 7:

Set theMagic = New magicdemo.magic

should be replaced with:

Set theMagic = New magicdemo.magicdemoclass
