The ability to start MATLAB as a COM Server without the Command Window being displayed is not available in MATLAB 7.0 (R14).

As a workaround, you can bring up the Command Window minimized, and subsequently make it invisible. For example:

 a=actxserver('Matlab.Application'); set(a,'Visible',0)

As a workaround, you can hide the command window once it has been opened using the ENGSETVISIBLE function. The following lines of code illustrate how you can do this:

Engine *ep;
ep = engOpen(NULL);
