Problem compile imaq.VideoDevice to Standard Alone(.exe)

I'm able to run the GUI code in MATLAB but when compiled to .exe and run it

I got the error Undefined function or variable 'imaqslgate'

I suppose Image Acquisition Toolbox is able to compile to .exe right?

Using MATLAB R2015a and build in webcam

Thanks.

 Code

 function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
  vid  = imaq.VideoDevice('winvideo', 1, 'MJPG_640x480', 'ROI', [1 1 640 480], ...
                           'ReturnedColorSpace', 'rgb', ...
                           'DeviceProperties.Brightness', 0, ...
                           'DeviceProperties.Sharpness', 15);          
videoPlayer = vision.VideoPlayer('Name','Camera Preview','Position',[510 320 660 520]);
while(1)
     videoFrame = step(vid);                      
     imshow(videoFrame,handles.axes1)
     step(videoPlayer,videoFrame);
end

 Error

   Undefined function or variable 'imaqslgate'.

I do not know why you are getting the imaqslgate problem, but why are you using both imshow() for the image and using videoPlayer to display the image?

[williamx]

Imshow() To display video on the gui axes. Which I will do some object detection and display on the axes. This is just a simplified code.

Hi William,

Check this bug report out:

There is also a workaround.

Thanks, Madhura

How are you running the executable? Within MATLAB using the ! operator, or double clicking it outside MATLAB? Either way, can you close MATLAB (if its running) or run IMAQRESET in MATLAB before running the exe? Just to make sure that the hardware is not in use.

Well i tried running the executable without MATLAB running and also IMAQRESET before closing MATLAB. Thank you anyway. Hope i can solve it or someone can provide me a simple executable with just 1 button to enable my camera.
