Command Window in Matlab compiled DLL

I'm looking to optionally (depending on program input) open a command window for Matlab compiled DLL (like a standalone application) to aid debugging. Is there a easy way to do so?

Thanks.

No. The Command Window is specifically called out in the documentation for
MATLAB Compiler as functionality that cannot be included in applications
created by MATLAB Compiler.

Nor can the command-line debugging functions be included in such an
application.

Assuming that the problem does not exist in the application when run in
MATLAB itself, only in the application generated by MATLAB Compiler, you
could display text in a figure window to aid in debugging or write
diagnostic information to a log file using the low-level file I/O
functionality like FOPEN, FPRINTF, and FCLOSE. If the problem exists when
you run either the application generated by MATLAB Compiler or the
application inside MATLAB, you can of course use the debugging capabilities
of MATLAB to debug the problem.

Thanks Steve.

For the 'command window', I was referring to is the console window used in
standalone mcc application to display errors thrown or maybe take user input
through input() command, NOT the standard MATLAB prompt where
I can enter arbirary commands. (I just noticed that there's a
'commandwindow'
command in the documentation link you just showed).
