Hi Mat
I am using this function but I get this error:
??? Error using ==> calllib
To call a function both the library name and function name are needed.

Error in ==> loadlibrary at 172
    calllib(library,fcns,classname,structs,enums);

Error in ==> closewindow at 13
    loadlibrary('user32.dll',@userproto,'alias',mfilename);

whats going wrong?, I also installed DLL library from:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/files/s33513/GenericDll_1p1.exe

I would appreciate your help.
thanks
Imran

Hello who ever can/wants to help me,
Is it possible to use the CLOSEWINDOW(NAME) in matlab 7.7.0.?
I'm allready trying to make it work for a couple of hours but I get
the error message:

Warning: A loader file was suppied that was built with a previous
version of MATLAB that will not be supported in future versions of
MATLAB.

In loadlibrary at 419
In closewindow at 13

is it possible to fix this in matlab 7.7.0.?
(I didn't download the dll calling because it is for matlab 6.5.

thank you very much
