Is there a way to surpress the command window when starting the engine ?

I am using the engine library to call MATLAB from my C++ code. When I call the engopen function to start a MATLAB Engine session, the command window opens. Is there any way to prevent it, or close it immediately ? I saw an old question from 2009 about it and they only made it invisible.

Please post a link to the thread, if you mention it already. This is smarter than letting the readers search it again.

Do you mean: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/103148-is-it-possible-to-suppress-the-matlab-command-window-from-opening-when-you-launch-the-matlab-engine ? If so, what is the problem with this code?

What about https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/16330-setdesktopvisibility/?

Are you working under Windows, MacOS or Linux?

Yes this is the thread that I mentioned. There is not really a problem with this code. It would just be nicer (and maybe less confusing for other users) if the window did not open and close (or turned invisible) at all. I am working on Windows, but the Code has to run on the other two OS too. I am not sure if the command window opens also on other OS.

I am honestly not sure if I totally understand if the other code helps me. It seems to be coded in Matlab, but I'd need somehting that works in c++.

@Philipp Heinrich: Even if you work in C++, you are opening a Matlab engine. Then you can run Matlab commands in this engine.

As far as I know, the answer to your question is: No, there is no method to suppress the window when starting the engine.

ok. good to know. thank you for the answer.
