zoom X axis only - app designer

I try to lock Y axis during zoom for my axes but uiaxes seems to not support some features like axes from figure

1) there is no context menu "zoom ou" , "resotore view", "unconstrained zoom" , "horizntal zoom" , "vertical zoom"

2) any commands controling zoom behaviour not working

zoom(app.axe2,'xon'); % not working
q = zoom(app.axe2);
q.Motion = 'horizontal'; % not working

Then is here any workaround for "horizontal zoom" feature for example at app designer? For my project its quite essential property.

Your app is a uifigure, so you can test this outside of AppDesigner. It turns out you need to be fairly specific with your handles, but the code below should allow you to use a horizontal zoom in a uifigure (and therefore in an AppDesigner app).

f=uifigure;
ax=axes(f);
plot(1:10,'.','parent',ax)
h=zoom(f);
h.Motion = 'horizontal';
h.Enable = 'on';
