slConvertCustomMenus

Start with the custom Simulink toolbar menu defined by this sl_customization.m file.

function sl_customization( cm )
    cm.addCustomMenuFcn( 'Simulink:ToolsMenu', @toolsMenu );
end
 
%% Tool Menu customization
function schemas = toolsMenu()
        schemas = {
        @toolsMenu1, ...
        @toolsMenu2, ...
        @toolsMenu3
    };
end
 
function schema = toolsMenu1( cbinfo )
    schema = sl_action_schema;
    schema.tag = 'toolsMenu1';
    schema.label = 'Tools Menu 1';
    schema.callback = @toolsMenu1CB;
end

function schema = toolsMenu2( cbinfo )
    schema = sl_action_schema;
    schema.tag = 'toolsMenu2';
    schema.label = 'Tools Menu 2';
    schema.callback = @toolsMenu2CB;
end
 
function schema = toolsMenu3( cbinfo )
    schema = sl_container_schema;
    schema.tag = 'toolsMenu3';
    schema.label = 'Tools Menu 3';
    schema.childrenFcns = {
    @toolsMenu31, ...
    @toolsMenu32
    };
end

function schema = toolsMenu31( cbinfo )
    schema = sl_action_schema;
    schema.tag = 'toolsMenu31';
    schema.label = 'Tools Menu 31';
    schema.callback = @toolsMenu31CB;
end
 
function schema = toolsMenu32( cbinfo )
    schema = sl_action_schema;
    schema.tag = 'toolsMenu32';
    schema.label = 'Tools Menu 32';
    schema.callback = @toolsMenu32CB;
end
 
function toolsMenu1CB( cbinfo )
    disp( 'Executing toolsMenu1' );
end

function toolsMenu2CB( cbinfo )
    disp( 'Executing toolsMenu2' );
end

function toolsMenu31CB( cbinfo )
    disp( 'Executing toolsMenu31' );
end
 
function toolsMenu32CB( cbinfo )
    disp( 'Executing toolsMenu32' );
end

To see the toolbar menu, open Simulink.

If this menu is converted in its current state, the conversion of its callback functions will fail because they are saved in the sl_customization.m file. To enable the conversion of the callback functions for Tools Menu 2 and Tools Menu 3, save them in separate function files: toolsMenu2CB.m, toolsMenu31CB.m, and toolsMenu32CB.m.

For comparison, leave the callback function for Tools Menu 1 in the sl_customization.m file.

Convert the toolbar menu into a toolstrip tab. In the Command Window, enter this:

slConvertCustomMenus;

Delete the custom toolbar menu by commenting out the addCustomMenuFcn call in the sl_customization.m file, and then saving the file.

function sl_customization( cm )
    %cm.addCustomMenuFcn( 'Simulink:ToolsMenu', @toolsMenu );
end

To see the results of the menu conversion, open a blank model in Simulink.

Rebuild the toolstrip by entering the sl_refresh_customizations command in the Command Window.

Open and view the Custom tab.

The tab has a single section titled Tools because that is the title of the top level of the toolbar menu from which the tab was created.

The action schemas Tools Menu 1 and Tools Menu 2 from the toolbar menu are converted into push buttons of the same names in the tab.

The container schema Tools Menu 3 in the toolbar menu has a pop-up list, and is converted into a drop-down button.

Click on the Tools Menu 1 push button. The diagnostic viewer shows an error message, stating that the callback of the Tools Menu 1 action schema failed to convert. This is because the callback function of that schema is saved in the sl_customization.m file.

Click on the Tools Menu 2, Tools Menu 31, and Tools Menu 32 buttons. The callbacks execute without error because the callback functions for these buttons are saved in separate function files.
