Is there any way to access an object in a separate Java gui from matlab? I am running a Java gui (not running from Matlab) and also an app in Matlab. I would like to access the Java gui from Matlab (and changel a slider value in the Java app). I'm guessing this might be impossible. Is there some way to run the Java app from Matlab and get a handle to it?

Correct - AFAIK you cannot access a Java frame from another JVM.

Yes - Matlab runs its own JVM and can run Java classes directly. You will then have access to your Java GUI and can manipulate it from within Matlab.

... the Java app is normally run from a bat file:
@echo off
java -classpath .;.\jna.jar com.hbas.asioConvGui.ASIOConvGUI > log.txt
I tried running this direcly in Matlab, but didn't work.

Open up the Help Browser using the DOC function. In the main MATLAB
documentation there's a chapter titled "External Interfaces". One of the
sections of that chapter describes the steps you'll need to follow to use
Java from within MATLAB.
