Managing Code in App Designer Code View


Code View provides most of the same programming features that the MATLAB Editor
provides. It also provides a rich set of features that help you to navigate your code and
avoid many tedious tasks. For example, you can search for a callback by typing part of its
name in a search bar. Clicking a search result scrolls the editor to the definition of that
callback. And if you change the name of a callback, App Designer automatically updates
all references to it in your code.

Managing Components, Functions, and Properties


Code View has three panes to help you manage different aspects of your code. This table
describes each of them.

  • Context menu — Right-click a component in
    the list to display a context menu that has
    options for deleting or renaming the
    component, adding a callback, or displaying
    help. Select the Include Component
    Labels in Component Browser option to
    display grouped component labels.

  • Search bar —Quickly locate a component by
    typing part of its name in the search bar.

  • Inspector tab — Use this tab to view or
    change property values for the component
    that is currently selected. You can also
    search for a property by typing part of the
    name in the search bar at the top of this tab.

  • Callbacks tab — Use this tab to manage the
    callbacks for the component that is selected.
