Matlab App Designer in a 32bit Matlab version ?

4 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to create a GUI using the MATLAB App Designer . The Problem is : I have to load a 32bit DLL in my app , which is not possible in 64bit Matlab versions. Question is : Is there a way to load the 32bit DLL to the 64bit MATLAB -knowing that i don't have the source of the DLL to recompile it in 64bit - ?
Or : Is there a way to use Matlab App Designer in a 32bit Matlab version - knowing that the last 32bit Matlab version was 2015 - ?

See e.g. https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/graphics-support-in-app-designer.html: The App Designer works since R2016a. I do not see a way to get it work with R29015b to obtain access to a 32 bit DLL.

Hi OneEyedSE7S,
I suspect that you are trying to use this 32 bit dll because for some reason a 64 bit version isn't available.
Depending on your level of expertise and need to make your application use that dll, you could do this by creating a 32 bit application that calls into the dll. You then will need to use some form of inter-process communication like streams or tcp/ip to communicate between it and the App Designer process. I know that MATLAB provides support for tcp/ip via tcpclient.
