Simulink: Setting Mask's tab visibility

Dear all,

Recently i'm facing difficulty of setting the visibility of masked parameter. Here's my problem...

I already created masked subsystem in Simulink. The mask have four tabs; Movers, Diesel Parameter, Motor Parameter and Gas Tubine Parameter

In the first tab (Movers), i created pop-up button called "Movers" with three option (Diesel;Motor;Gas Turbine).

Based on the selection on the pop-up button "Movers", i would like to show applicable tab only. So ideally, user will should see 2 tabs on the mask, "Movers" and (say) Mover's parameter.

It won't be so much trouble if each parameter's tab only have several inputs. I mean i can set each parameter's visibility manually. But, since the mask have in total 30 parameters, it's a big hassle to manually set the visibility on or off (for each parameter)

My question,

• Is there a way to get_param list of the parameters based on their tab?
• Is there also a way to set_param the parameters visibility based on their tab?

Thanks,

IH

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Before i embark to the point with no return? (manually setting visibility for each parameter)

[TAB]

AFAIK, you can not completely disable a tab. But, using below piece of code, you can turn-off the visibility of all parameters present in a particular tab.

% Get all Tab Names returned in cell array
TabNames = get_param(gcbh,'MaskTabNames');

% Get visibility of all parameters
TabVis = get_param(gcbh,'MaskVisibilities');

% Find the index of Tab in which, you want to disable parameters
DisableTabIdx = find(strcmp(TabNames,'TabNameHere'));

% Turn of the visibility of parameters present in the Tab
for x=1:length(DisableTabIdx)
    TabVis{DisableTabIdx(x)}='off';
end

% Pass the modify visibility values to block
set_param(gcbh,'MaskVisibilities',TabVis)

Thanks a lot..

I know something like this should be possible.. (Just don't know how..)

This sholution no longer works, as 'MaskTabNames' no longer returns the names of the tabs. Do you know of any solution to this problem?

You can turn the Tab visibility of.

p=Simulink.Mask.get(gcb);
p.getDialogControl('TabName').Visible='off';
