How to enable Matlab to listen real time data through C++ application

I need to create a C++ add-in to Matlab where add-in will listen to packet coming from network and notify Matlab to draw an packet analysis graph. I开发者_运维技巧 understood that using a MEX file I can easily call c functions inside Matlab, but I could not find a way to notify Matlab when data is available at C++ end. Is there any way we can pass a user-defined Matlab function pointer into my C++ add-in?

BTW, I found this thread: real-time-data-in-matlab

Unfortunately suggestion is to use ActiveX control, but in my case, I need to create add-in in pure C++.

Have a look at Gurobi. It 'just' prints status information to the command window. Using a mex command like mexCallMATLAB you may access 'any' matlab function.

Would it make your life easier if you could listen for the network data directly from Matlab? I've never tried it, but there are a few submissions on MathWorks' File Exchange site that allow you to create sockets within Matlab. Here's a TCP/IP example that creates both a client and a server, and here's a similar UDP example.
