You can utilize a (.m) file in MS Visual Studio in two ways:
1. Compiling the (.m) file using MATLAB Compiler , and then refer to the resulting DLL in your Visual Studio Program
Below is an example of calling "script.m" file in a C++ program using MATLAB Engine.
/* A simple program to illustrate how to call MATLAB Engine functions from a C++ program.*/
using namespace std;
#include "engine.h"
int main()
{
Engine *ep;
/*
* Call engOpen with a NULL string. This starts a MATLAB process
* on the current host using the command "matlab".
*/
if (!(ep = engOpen("")))
{
fprintf(stderr, "\nCan't start MATLAB engine\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
/*
* Now call the MATLAB script that through MATLAB Engine
*/
engEvalString(ep, "script");
cout << "Hit return to continue\n\n";
fgetc(stdin);
/*
* Close the MATLAB Engine
*/
engClose(ep);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
