MaskPrompts

List of dialog parameter prompts (see below). Set inside the Dialog parameters area on the Parameters pane of the Mask Editor dialog box.

cell array of strings {'[]'}

MaskPromptString

List of dialog parameter prompts (see below). Set inside the Dialog parameters area on the Parameters pane of the Mask Editor dialog box.

string {''}

MaskPropertyName
String

Pipe-delimited version of MaskNames.

string {''}

MaskRunInitForIconRedraw

For internal use.

 

MaskSelfModifiable

Indicates that the block can modify itself. Set by the Allow library block to modify its contents check box on the Initialization pane of the Mask Editor dialog box.

MaskTabNames

For internal use.

 

MaskToolTipsDisplay

Determines which mask dialog parameters to display in the data tip for this masked block (see "Block Data Tips" in the Simulink documentation). Specify as a cell array of 'on' or 'off' values, each of which indicates whether to display the parameter named at the corresponding position in the cell array returned by MaskNames.

cell array of 'on' and 'off' {''}

MaskToolTipString

Setting Mask Parameters

When you use the Mask Editor to create a dialog box parameter for a masked block, you provide this information:

How Masked Parameters are Stored

The mask parameters, listed in the preceding table, store the values specified for the dialog box parameters in these ways:
