Callback
The Callback property specifies the callback that is executed in the GUI M-file
when a user activates the component.
String
The String property contains text for the component. The following are
examples:
• For buttons, check boxes, list boxes, edit text, and static text, the
String text
is displayed on or next to the component.
• For an edit text, the
String property contains a list of strings that is
displayed in the text box. When a user edits the text, the
String property is
updated.
Value
The Value property contains a numerical value for the component, which must
lie in the range specified by the
Max and Min properties. The following are
examples:
• For radio buttons and check boxes,
Max and Min are set to 1 and 0,
respectively, by default. The
Value property is set to 1 when the radio button
or check box is selected, and
0 when it is cleared.
• When a user drags a slider, the
Value is set to a number between Max and
Min corresponding to the location of the slider button.
