Hi,

For now, app designer does not support toolbar. However, you can explore tab groups if it suits your use case. You can add menu bar and tab group to your app using app designer by dragging Menu Bar and Tab Group from Component Library and dropping it on the app in design view of the app. Refer the following links to get more information about menu bar and tab group:

Toolbar can be added programatically to app designer using uitoolbar function from MATLAB R2020a ownwards.

MATLAB: How to generate selected number of tabs in tab group with app designer

You're treating tab like a structure but it's a tab container object. Store the tab handles in a cell array. Here's a demo you can adapt to your app.

% Create a UI Figure
app.UIFigure = uifigure(); 
% Set up tab group
app.TabGroup = uitabgroup(app.UIFigure);
% app.TabGroup.Position = [300 300 300 300];   % not needed for demo
% Specify the total number of tabs
nTabs = 6; % including MainTab
% Set up the main tab
app.tabs = cell(1,nTabs); 
app.tabs{1} = uitab(app.TabGroup,'Title','Main Tab'); %create the main tab
% Create additional tabs
for i = 2:nTabs %create the number of tabs entered by the user
    app.tabs{i} = uitab(app.TabGroup,'Title',['Tab' num2str(i-1)]);
end

To access tab number 'n',

app.tabs{n}
app.tabs{n}.Title = 'Menu';  % for example

Note: when applying this to AppDesigner you'll need to declare tabs as a private property by following these instructions.
