Share ActiveX control between GUIDE and S-Function

Hi,

I have an ActiveX control in my GUI, which I would like to control using an S-Function Block (Matlab Level-2).

In my GUI, I assign the ActiveX control to handles.ge, which is available and accessible throughout the GUI.

How can the handles.ge also be available and accessible outside the GUI, in this case S-Function block. I've read about nested function. But, I don't think that could be applied in this case.

You could potentially use the block's UserData to share data between the block and another function. See the example on this page. In your GUI, you can use something like:

   set_param('path/to/block','UserData',handles.ge);

or

   set_param(blockHandle,'UserData',handles.ge);

To set the data.

In the S-function callback methods, you can use:

   ge = get_param(block.BlockHandle,'UserData');

To retrieve the data.
