How to call LockSetForegroundWindow

A function in USRE32.DLL LockSetForegroundWindow is a band aid function to prevent other windows from stealing the focus when you don't want it to do so.

I want to be able to call this from within MATLAB, but it isn't defined in win.h, or anywhere in the lcc compiler includes.

How do I define the function, load the library and ultimately call the function?

LockSetForegroundWindow: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633532(v=vs.85).aspx

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Douglas Gerard,

I understand you want to invoke a function present inside a DLL file into MALTAB.

LOADLIBRARY function in MALTAB can be used to load a DLL into MALTAB and call functions present inside the DLL.

More information on LOADLIBRARY can be found in the links below:

LOADLIBRARY Documentation Page

LIBFUNCTIONS - Show functions in a loaded library

The below thread on MALTAB Central can also be useful:

Import User 32 DLL

Hope this helps.

Thanks
