How to use public properties in matlab app designer?

41 views (last 30 days)
Hi
I have two apps , the one in invoking the other. app2 is invoking the app 3. The app 3 consists of a listbox which is supposed to show up as many times as the number of zones (chosen by the user in app 2)
I thought I was supposed to define antall_soner as public property in both app2 and in app 3 as both of them are using this variable but the value of it is set in app2.
I dont know why but I an getting a warning when I am in the code view though I have set app. antall_soner everywhere.
Can anybody help me with my problem?

I have modified your apps and attached them here.
In app3, I added a Callingapp property. In code view, I clicked "App Input Argument" and added "app2" as an input variable. Within the startup function, I added, "app.Callingapp = app2".
For app2, I modified how you called app3. Instead of just app3, it is now app3(app) - this includes all the property variables in app2 as an input to app3.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

@Kevin Holly By the way could you just have written app.app2 in the startup function and just app2 as the public property . If I understood it correctly you just chose to have new variable and set it equal to app2 so it could be easier to understand the code..?

In app2, app3 was called with the input "app" as such:
app3(app)
"app" here includes access to all of the property variables in app2.
In app3, I added a Callingapp property. In code view, I clicked "App Input Argument" and added "app2" as an input variable. Within the startup function
app.Callingapp = app2
You could have named the input variable "mainapp" and written the startup function as:
app.Callingapp = mainapp
Now if you want to access any of the property variables from app2 in app3, you can type:
app.Callingapp.VariableName
where "VariableName" is one of the property variables in app2.
