Accessing functions in dll

Hello, I am trying to access a motorised stage that has its own sdk.

Im not a c or c++ programmer and have been told the following.

"I did try importing the DLL into Matlab, turns out Matlab does not support function pointers in structures, so the DLL cannot be directly imported as it stands. So his options are to write wrappers for the SDK or to write his own function calls through the Matlab serial libraries."

I was wondering if there was anyway around the first sentence?

Thanks
