I am integrating cplex in app designer to perfom optimizations. Considering the problem dimensions, sometimes cplex needs a lot of time in order to find a solution. I would like to allow the user to stop the calculation if it seems to be stacked.
I noticed that the command Ctrl+C from the keyboard is able to stop cplex. Cplex is called thanks to a class (then I cannot insert breakpoints inside) and it acts as a function but Ctrl+C does not brake the execution but it asks to cplex to interrupt the optimization finding a partial optimum point.
From app designer the user does not have access to the command window, then is it possible to simulate the command within a callback?
I found this code within the forum. Actually, it works but it depends on the fact that, before starting a function, I must start the timer and then after 4 seconds it executes the command Ctrl+C in the same way I would do from the keyboard.
t = timer('TimerFcn','com.mathworks.mde.cmdwin.CmdWinMLIF.getInstance().processKeyFromC(2,67,''C'')','StartDelay',4);
start(t);
How can I insert this inside a callbacks and how can I invoke the callback during a ongoing execution? I would like to queue cplex in order to execute Ctrl+C and see that Matlab stops the running.

See attached demo. It's for GUIDE but you can use the same concept for App Designer.

If you are ok with the limitations of a parfeval call (need parallel processing toolbox, any graphics produced by the calling function are surpressed, ...) you can easily cancel the call.
% This runs in a parallel worker so does not block the main/calling thread
% note: it will block on a call to fetchOutputs(f)
f = parfeval(backgroundPool,@pause,0,Inf);
% when button is pressed, or other callback is executed, call this:
cancel(f);
