I'm calling a Simulink model (let's say Model.slx) from an app (let's say GUI.mlapp) using:
load_system('Model.slx')
set_param(gcs,'SimulationCommand','start')
Within the StopFcn callback of Model.slx, I want to call the function PostSimActions(), which is defined in GUI.mlapp. Essentially, I want Simulink to notify the app when the simulation is complete so that I can re-enable the "Run Simulation" button and process the simulation data in the app. I realize that I could use a while loop and the pause function after starting my model to simply wait until the SimulationStatus is no longer 'running', but I would prefer that the app not be hung up in a loop while the simulation runs (in case the user wants to change other settings or turn other knobs in the app). Within the Simulink callbacks, I have tried:
h_app = GUI;
PostSimActions(h_app);
However, grabbing the handle of the app this way opens a new app window, which I do not want. If I insert another line in the model callback...
h_app.UIFigure.Visible = "off";
...then any actions that I perform in PostSimActions(h_app) do not affect the original app window (since the function is tied to the new window...I think?) So, for example, if I try to re-enable the "Run Simulation" button that was used to run Model.slx, only the button on the invisible window is enabled, not the original window.
Is there a way I can get the handle of an app in a Simulink callback that is linked to my original app window (and doesn't open another window)?
