Syntax

hLoadButton = slrealtime.ui.control.LoadButton(hFigure)

Description

hLoadButton = slrealtime.ui.control.LoadButton(hFigure) creates a Speedgoat® target computer load button for an instrument panel uifigure figure. This button loads a real-time application onto the target computer and optionally displays the currently loaded application. You can disable this display by using a button property. The button has properties that enable you to set a loading option for skip install and asynchronous load.

For information about control properties, see slrealtime.ui Properties. It is important to set the TargetSource property for this control if you plan on using your app with target computers other than the default target computer.

Tip

The LoadButton operates differently when used in a compiled (standalone) instrument panel app. Instead of opening the load file UI, pressing the Load button loads the MLDATX file that is selected from the Application property for the LoadButton. You include this MLDATX file in the compiled and packaged app. In the app, select the real-time application by adding code that sets the MLDATX file name. This example code selects the slrt_ex_osc MLDATX file.

% Define the real-time application file to load.
app.LoadButton.Application = 'slrt_ex_osc';

For more information, see Create Standalone Instrument Panel App by Using Application Compiler.
