Thread Subject: Suppressing Command Window in Engine Applications

Hello All,

i am building MATLAB Engine Applicationsbut each time i execute my .exe files (compiled engine files), the command window comes up along with the graphs and figures that i plotted.

Please can any one advise me on how to suppress this command window.

Thanks

This might be due to the application being compiled as a 'console' app.

You could try building a non-console application (I do not know the
details) in visual studio outside MATLAB.
Some info on compiling engine source code using visual studio:

See the API function engSetVisible. For example, to make the command window invisible, do this:

    engSetVisible(ep, 0);

where ep is the Engine pointer that has already been returned from engOpen.
