MATLAB: There is no Text property on the Menu class

Question

I try to create simple menu in the Matlab R2017a

    h_f = figure('MenuBar','none','ToolBar','none');
    h_menu = uimenu(h_f,'Text','Run');

but receive an error 'There is no Text property on the Menu class'.

For some reasons if I change it to

    h_f = figure('MenuBar','none','ToolBar','none');
    h_menu = uimenu(h_f,'Label','Run');

it works properly, while Matlab Help states that 'Use of the Label property is not recommended. It might be removed in a future release. Use the Text property instead'.

So where is the problem? 'Text' property was introduced only in the R2017b version?

Also I want to create submenus and this code doesn't work

    h_menu_item = uimenu(h_menu,'Label','Ready','Label','Steady','Label','Go');

But this works:

    h_menu_item = uimenu(h_menu,'Label','Ready');
    h_menu_item = uimenu(h_menu,'Label','Steady');
    h_menu_item = uimenu(h_menu,'Label','Go');

Why I couldn't concatenate it in one line?

Answer 1

Yes, Text does appear to have been introduced in R2017b, and I do not see the change described in the release notes.

You cannot put those three items in one line because you are creating three different graphics objects, not a single graphics object with a list of character vectors.
