engGetVisible (External Interfaces Reference)

Determine visibility of MATLAB engine session

C Syntax

#include "engine.h"
int engGetVisible(Engine *ep, bool *value);

Arguments

ep
Engine pointer.

value
Pointer to value returned from engGetVisible.

Description

Windows Only

engGetVisible returns the current visibility setting for MATLAB engine session, ep. A visible engine session runs in a window on the Windows desktop, thus making the engine available for user interaction. An invisible session is hidden from the user by removing it from the desktop.

engGetVisible returns 0 on success, and 1 otherwise.

Examples

The following code opens engine session ep and disables its visibility.

Engine *ep;
bool vis;

ep = engOpen(NULL);
engSetVisible(ep, 0);

To determine the current visibility setting, use

```
engGetVisible(ep, &vis);
```
