Is it possible to start MATLAB as a COM Server without bringing up the command window in MATLAB 7.0 (R14)?

I would like to launch MATLAB from a Visual Basic client without the Command Window being displayed. How can I do this using the COM Server functionality within MATLAB?

The ability to start MATLAB as a COM Server without the Command Window being displayed is not available in MATLAB 7.0 (R14).

As a workaround, you can bring up the Command Window minimized, and subsequently make it invisible. For example:

 a=actxserver('Matlab.Application'); set(a,'Visible',0)
