App property blocks with different attributes

I have an appdesigner app whose properties block looks like this:

properties (Access = public)

guiCanvas matlab.ui.Figure

ImagePanel matlab.ui.container.Panel

text1 matlab.ui.control.Label

EditText_SliceNum matlab.ui.control.EditField

EditText_Level matlab.ui.control.EditField

EditText_Window matlab.ui.control.EditField

text2 matlab.ui.control.Label

text3 matlab.ui.control.Label

Menu_SliceThick matlab.ui.control.DropDown

text4 matlab.ui.control.Label

Slider_SliceNum matlab.ui.control.Slider

Slider_Level matlab.ui.control.Slider

Slider_Window matlab.ui.control.Slider

Button_StreakTrace matlab.ui.control.Button

Button_ExposureDrops matlab.ui.control.Button

Button_RingTrace matlab.ui.control.Button

end

However, I would like to have different control elements, as below, residing in different property blocks with different attributes. I prefer the text components to be invisible properties in app instances generated by the app code. Is there a way to accomplish this?

properties (Access = public, Hidden)

text1 matlab.ui.control.Label

text2 matlab.ui.control.Label

text3 matlab.ui.control.Label

text4 matlab.ui.control.Label

end

properties (Access = public)

guiCanvas matlab.ui.Figure

ImagePanel matlab.ui.container.Panel

EditText_SliceNum matlab.ui.control.EditField

EditText_Level matlab.ui.control.EditField

EditText_Window matlab.ui.control.EditField

Menu_SliceThick matlab.ui.control.DropDown

Slider_SliceNum matlab.ui.control.Slider

Slider_Level matlab.ui.control.Slider

Slider_Window matlab.ui.control.Slider

Button_StreakTrace matlab.ui.control.Button

Button_ExposureDrops matlab.ui.control.Button

Button_RingTrace matlab.ui.control.Button

end

I think you might be looking for this

properties (Access = private)

end

This way, properties in this block are hidden outside of the access from the outside of the application. If this is what you're looking for, let me know and I'll move this to answers.

@Mario Malic I'd really prefer

properties (Access = public, Hidden)

but that's not the main issue. The main issue is that appdesigner does not seem to let you modify property attributes of the components.

Regarding the previous question, It is not possible to change the property block of the components auto-created by the App Designer as far as I know.

You can modify the component properties with startupFcn
