MATLAB: I have over a 100 checkboxes. I want to check them with one line of code in Appdesigner the same way that I did in Matlab 2013.. However the same line of code does not work in Appdesigner. Here is the code from 2013 Matlab

check mulitple checkboxes in appdesignerMATLAB

set(findobj('Style','checkbox','-regexp','Tag','checkbox'),'Value',1)

I have tried this, created 5 checkboxes and a button for check all.

You can get the struct fieldnames and filter by its name CheckBox.

It is not an efficient way manually assign Tags for each checkbox so left the names as Matlab creates automatically.

classdef app1 < matlab.apps.AppBase
    % Properties that correspond to app components
    properties (Access = public)
        UIFigure        matlab.ui.Figure
        CheckBox        matlab.ui.control.CheckBox
        CheckBox2       matlab.ui.control.CheckBox
        CheckBox3       matlab.ui.control.CheckBox
        CheckBox4       matlab.ui.control.CheckBox
        CheckBox5       matlab.ui.control.CheckBox
        checkallButton  matlab.ui.control.Button
    end
    methods (Access = private)
        % Button pushed function: checkallButton
        function checkallButtonPushed(app, event)        
            fieldNames = fieldnames(app); % gets the name list for all uicomponents as cell array
            allCheckBoxNamesList = fieldNames(contains(fieldNames,'CheckBox','IgnoreCase',false)); % gets only the names contains "CheckBox" specifically.
            for i = 1:numel(allCheckBoxNamesList) % a for loop for set all checkbox components' values as true 
                app.(allCheckBoxNamesList{i}).Value = true; % dynamic naming to reach elements under my app. 
            end
        end
    end

MATLAB: Appdesigner button group problem

Enabled property is not valid for Button Group but valid for Button. So, app.Button.Enable = 'off' will work.

%% Create UIFigure
app.UIFigure = uifigure;
app.UIFigure.Position = [100 100 640 480];
app.UIFigure.Name = 'UI Figure';
% Create ButtonGroup
app.ButtonGroup = uibuttongroup(app.UIFigure);
app.ButtonGroup.Title = 'Button Group';
app.ButtonGroup.Position = [282 115 123 106];
% Create Button
app.Button = uiradiobutton(app.ButtonGroup);
app.Button.Enable = 'off';
app.Button.Text = 'Button';
app.Button.Position = [11 60 58 22];
app.Button.Value = true;
% Create Button2
app.Button2 = uiradiobutton(app.ButtonGroup);
app.Button2.Enable = 'off';
app.Button2.Text = 'Button2';
app.Button2.Position = [11 38 65 22];
% Create Button3
app.Button3 = uiradiobutton(app.ButtonGroup);
app.Button3.Text = 'Button3';
app.Button3.Position = [11 16 65 22];
%% Disable all buttons 
app.Button.Enable = 'off';
app.Button2.Enable = 'off';
app.Button3.Enable = 'off';

Also, Button Group has Visible property, so you can hide button group by the following.

app.ButtonGroup.Visible = 'off';

MATLAB: Passing variables in GUI’s in AppDesigner

This document and this example are helpful.

Tips are,

In GUI1, you need to set properties as public (properties (Access = public)) in order to pass the variables to GUI2.

In GUI2, you need to define startupFcn and add an input argument of GUI1 so that GUI1 can call GUI2 with its object.

Defining CallingApp property in GUI2 to store the object of GUI1.

properties (Access = private)
    % This is properties of GUI2
    CallingApp % GUI1 object
end

Then, define startupFcn in GUI2.

function startupFcn(app, mainapp)
     % This is startupFcn of GUI2
     % Store GUI1 app object
     app.CallingApp = mainapp;
 end

Now, you can access variables of GUI1 in GUI2 by using app.CallingApp.

In GUI1, you can call GUI2. Suppose GUI2 name is GUI2.mlapp,

 function DeconvoluteButtonPushed(app, event)
     % This is button pushed function in GUI1
     % Call dialog box with input values
     GUI2(app);
 end
