Set pop-up mask content from file

Hi,

Is there a way to set the content of a subsystem mask element (popup type) externally? Like from an M file or similar?

Many thanks in advance!

Use get() and set() command.

Drag and drop a Subsystem block to a model, type the following line in the command window.

set_param(gcb,'Mask','on','MaskPromptString', 'ParaA|ParaB','MaskStyleString', 'popup(choice1|choice2),edit','MaskVariables','A=@1;B=@2;')

And double click the Subsystem block to see effect.

Best approach is to do reverse-engineering to figure out the detailed syntax. Do the masking manually, go to command window and run get(gcbh) to see the change.

Many thanks for the answer! Could you please elaborate a bit on the command itself? What exactly is gcb? What are the other parameters in the call?

Thanks a lot!

gcb is Get Current Block. type help gcb to find out

gcbh is Get Current Block Handle. type help gcbh to find out.

The command is to use set_param() to set the masking parameters of the block.
