Customize Tables for Masked Blocks

R2026b

A Custom Table is a mask parameter that displays multi-column data on the mask dialog box. It enables you to enter and manage data as rows and columns instead of using separate individual parameters. Each column supports multiple mask parameter types, such as edit, checkbox, popup, and combobox and includes properties such as width, visibility, evaluation, and dropdown options. You can access and modify the contents of the table programmatically and through mask callbacks.
