MATLAB Runtime Server

Providing a Way to Exit the Application

Since the user cannot access the command window to type the usual MATLAB quit command, you need to provide a mechanism for the user to exit the application (including quitting MATLAB). Two common ways to do this are by setting the GUI's CloseRequestFcn property to quit the application, and by providing buttons and menus on the interface that enable the user to quit the application. Both techniques are described below.

Tip    You might want the exit mechanism to quit MATLAB for the end user but not quit your own MATLAB session while you're still developing the application. If so, use the isruntime function to test whether or not the application is running with commercial MATLAB. For example, your GUI might have a button whose callback function includes lines like these: if isruntime close all quit force else close all end
