engEvalString fails when Matlab is waiting on a pause()/blocking function called from a matlab function

When I try to call engEvalString from a C++ application when matlab is waiting on a pause or a blocking function, it does not work. Another observation is that it does works if the pause is called from a script instead of a function. I would like to know the following: 1. Why does it work from a script while not work from a function. 2. What can be done to get engEvalString to work when pause is called from a function.

Thanks, Naveen

Can you share a sample code so that we get a better picture of what you are mentioning about?

Which version of MATLAB are you using?
