Hi,

For now, app designer does not support toolbar. However, you can explore tab groups if it suits your use case. You can add menu bar and tab group to your app using app designer by dragging Menu Bar and Tab Group from Component Library and dropping it on the app in design view of the app. Refer the following links to get more information about menu bar and tab group:

Toolbar can be added programatically to app designer using uitoolbar function from MATLAB R2020a ownwards.

Refer here for more information.

If I use a local function in the App Designer as callback for the pushbuttons or togglebuttons inside the toobar, it is giving error:

Undefined function 'myfcn' for input arguments of type 'matlab.ui.container.toolbar.PushTool'.

Error using matlab.ui.internal.controller.WebPushToolController/fireActionEvent (line 116)

Error while evaluating PushTool ClickedCallback.
