Simulink.MaskParameter Class

Namespace: Simulink

Control mask parameters programmatically

Description

Use an instance of Simulink.MaskParameter to set the properties of a mask parameter.

Properties

Type — Mask parameter type

edit (default) | checkbox | popup | combobox | listbox | promote

Mask parameter type, specified as character vector

Data Types: char | string

TypeOptions — Type options of parameter

cell (default) | Simulink.Mask.EnumerationTypeOptions | ...

The options that are displayed within a popup or combobox or listbox parameter, specified as a cell array.

Data Types: cell

Name — Name of mask parameter

character vector (default)

Name of the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. This name is assigned to the mask workspace variable created for the mask parameter. The mask parameter name must not match the built-in parameter name.

Data Types: char

Prompt — Display name for mask parameter

character vector (default)

Display name for the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. This name appears as the label associated with the parameter on the mask dialog box.

Data Types: char

Value — Mask parameter value

character vector (default)

Mask parameter value, specified as a character vector. For example, the default value for Checkbox is 'on' while the default value for Listbox is {''} and accepts a cell array of character vectors.

Data Types: char

Evaluate — Option to evaluate mask parameter

on (default) | off

Option to evaluate mask parameter, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

Tunable — Option to change mask parameter during simulation

on (default) | off | run-to-run

Option to change the mask parameter during simulation, specified as character vector or string. The available options are:

• off - you cannot change mask parameter values during simulation in this mode.

• on - you can change the mask parameter value during simulation. Each time you make a change the model is compiled.

• run-to-run - If the mask parameter is set to run-to-run in Fast Restart mode, the value can be changed between runs. The model is not recompiled to reflect the value in simulation results.

Data Types: char

NeverSave — Option to save mask parameter value in model file

off (default) | on

Option to save the mask parameter value in the model file, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

Hidden — Option to hide mask parameter

off (default) | on

Option to hide the mask parameter in the mask dialog box, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

ReadOnly — Option to edit mask parameter

off (default) | on

Option to edit the mask parameter in the mask dialog box, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

Enabled — Option to enable mask parameter

on (default) | off

Option to enable the mask parameter in the mask dialog box, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

Visible — Option to show mask parameter in mask dialog box

on (default) | off

Option to show the mask parameter in the mask dialog box, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

ShowTooltip — Option to enable tooltips for mask parameter

on (default) | off

Option to enable tooltips for the mask parameter, specified as a logical.

Data Types: char

Callback — Callback code for the mask parameter

character vector (default)

Callback code for the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. The callback code executes when a user changes the parameter value in the mask dialog box. If the callback for the parameter is in a callback file, then this property remains empty.

Data Types: char | string

TabName — Name of tab container

character vector (default)

Name of the tab container in which the mask parameter is displayed in the mask dialog box, specified as a character vector.

Data Types: char

Alias — Alternative name for mask parameter

character vector (default)

Alternative name for the mask parameter, specified as a character vector.

Data Types: char

DialogControl — Layout options

Simulink.dialog.parameter.Edit object (default) | Simulink.dialog.parameter.Popup | Simulink.dialog.parameter.ComboBox | ...

Layout options for the parameter in the mask dialog box, specified as a character vector or logical value. The location of the parameter in the mask dialog box such as the row location, prompt location is specified. Additionally horizontal stretch or shrink of the mask parameter is also specified.

Data Types: object

ConstraintName — Constraint associated with the parameter

character vector (default)

Constraint associated with the mask parameter, specified as a character vector. To associate a constraint programmatically the constraint must be already available. To associate a constraint in a MAT file, use the format <matfilename>:<constraintname>.
