Author Embedding matlab figures into a Windows application

We are trying to create a Windows application that uses Matlab graphics
in one of the applications own windows (rather than a Matlab figure
window).

We would like to put the contents of matlab figure output directly
into the windows of a seperately compiled multiple document interface
(MDI) application written in C++, rather than having the figures
displayed as Matlab figure windows. We are happy to use the Matlab
compiler, graphics library, or whatever other matlab products we need
in order to do this. This will ultimately be a commercial application.

This would allow us to create an application with the 'look and feel'
of a standard Windows application (rather than with seperate matlab
figure windows on the screen with the Matlab icon etc), but with
embedded matlab graphics so that we don't have to recreate the matlab
graphics capability in our own user interface. For example, each time
a graph is updated using Matlab code using the compiler, have it
redisplay in one of our applications windows.

In addition, we need to be able to have our GUI send commands to Matlab
for what to do.

Basically, we are trying to replace the Matlab GUI with our own because
we find that the Matlab GUI doesn't create an MDI application, and
tends to get very poor in terms of user input capture when there is
much processing going on (eg drop down menus no longer work right).

This will initially run on Windows XP.

I heard that someone had already created an application to do this.

Thanks for your help.
