C++ callbacks to matlab?

Hi,

I have some C++ code and I would like to integrate it with matlab. Basically data is sent to the C++ code and the C++ code executes a callback. i would like this callback to be on the matlab side. is that possible?

Thanks, Serena

See the C/C++ API documentation:

You can basically write your C++ code as a mex function (it operates like an m-file function callable from MATLAB) which can itself call back into MATLAB via the mexCallMATLAB function.

Or you can write a C++ program that calls into what is called a MATLAB Engine, which is a separate process from your C++ program so it requires copying all data into and out of the Engine (you can often avoid this copying with the mex function approach above)
