Why are you hiding the Toolstrip???

Hi Matlab-folks,

why are you hiding the Toolstrip? I've been looking for this feature for the last three years, and I just recently stumbled upon this article on undocumented:

https://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/matlab-toolstrip-part-1

It just took me about a day, to get my UI redesigned from Menus, toolbars and context menus to a toolstrip UI with contextual tabs (and 3 more days to get the DataBrowser to do what I want).

I assume I'm not the only guy here, who wants to have custom Toolstrips in apps. And, I think with a few minor improvemetns of the API this baby is ready to go!

So, can you please make this an official, documented API that everybody can benefit from?

Best,

Gebhard

Most frequent contributors don't work for Mathworks, but do this as a hobby. So 'we' aren't hiding anything.

I know there is a feature request form somewhere on this site. You should be able to find it with a quick Google search. I don't know if Mathworks will choose to expose this to users, but they might. Submitting it as a feature request will have a much higher chance of working than a post on this forum.

On another note: Undocumented Matlab is an awesome blog where there is a huge amount to learn about Matlab trickery, so that is always worth checking out if you want to do something that is a bit out of the norm.

Hi Rik,

I wasn't pointing on people how use matlab (I'm just one those guys, too). I Was pointing towards Mathworks, why they are 'hiding' this API from us.

And, I agree, Undocumented Matlab is awsome! Hopefully, Yair keeps up his great work.

My point was that Mathworks employees are not necessarily keeping a close eye on this forum, so the people seeing this are not the people who are 'hiding' this.

Got it,

already made a feature request.
