Change Simulink Library Lock Status from within the Library?

Hi,

I understand, I can change the library status of a Simulink library programmatically.

My question is: can I do that from within the library as well?

Background: users can download the library together with some other files (including documentation PDFs) from a repository. I would like to do automate some initial settings (e.g. links to PDFs) when the user opens the library for the first time after download.

Open your library model, in menu File, library properties, library properties,

In the Callbacks panel, you could add a callback to the PreLoadFcn or PostLoadFcn, "winopen('abc.pdf')".

Note the file will be open every time the library is loaded.

Unfortunately this does not help. There is a different PDF for each of the blocks in the library. These PDFs are located in folders which are not on the Matlab path.

Furthermore, the link to these PDFs is supposed to work even after the user has copied one of the library blocks into another model.

then please correct your question

My question was (and stil is): Can I change the library lock status of a Simulink library programmatically from within the library? There is nothing to be corrected here.
