For example, from Component Browser, select app.UIFigure and add StartupFcn callback.

Then in Code View, you can add startupFcn as the follows. You can make components invisible by changing Visible property of components.

function startupFcn(app)
    app.Button.Visible = 'off'; % For button 
    app.UIAxes.Visible = 'off'; % For axes 
end

Please replace app.Button or app.UIAxes to your existing components names.

And if you want to make them visible, change Visible properties to 'on'.

app.Button.Visible = 'on';
app.UIAxes.Visible = 'on';
