External Interfaces/API

MATLAB Automation Properties

You have the option of making your server application visible or not by setting the Visible property. When visible, the server window appears on the desktop, enabling the user to interact with the server application. This may be useful for such purposes as debugging. When not visible, the server window does not appear, thus perhaps making for a cleaner interface and also preventing any interaction with the server application.

By default, the Visible property is enabled, or set to 1:

• h = actxserver('Matlab.Application');
  get(h, 'visible')
  ans =
       1
  

You can change the setting of Visible by setting it to 0 (invisible) or 1 (visible). The following command removes the server application window from the desktop:

• set(h, 'visible', 0);
  
  get(h, 'visible')
  ans =
       0
