2 Matlab IDE's connected via NamedPipes can share data either on the same local machine or via network. Each GUI detects the keyboard input an sends a message to the other. The NamedPipe connection can be optional so that GUI instances may run independent, but the Srv/Client role has to be set (i.e. UserOption).
I set up a package with a Srv and a Client class. (example constructor code fragment)
function obj = PipeServer(pipeName)
import System.IO.Pipes.*
import WinNetIO.NamedPipes.*
NET.addAssembly("System.Core");
obj.PipeName = pipeName;
obj.pipeServerStream = NamedPipeServerStream(...
pipeName, ...
PipeDirection.InOut, ...
...
function obj = PipeClient(pipeName,pipeServer)
arguments
pipeName string
pipeServer string = "." % for local computer
end
import System.IO.Pipes.*
import WinNetIO.NamedPipes.*
% PipeName and Server
obj.PipeName = pipeName;
obj.PipeServerName = pipeServer;
NET.addAssembly('System.Core');
% client pipeStream object is opened in InOut mode
obj.pipeClientStream = System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream(...
obj.PipeServerName,...
obj.PipeName,...
