Us the TabGroupSelectionChanged callback function to set the visibility property of the panel to on/off. Here's what the code might look like if I only wanted to display the panel with Tab2 is visible.

% Selection change function: TabGroup
function TabGroupSelectionChanged(app, event)
    selectedTab = app.TabGroup.SelectedTab;
    switch selectedTab.Title
        case "Tab2"
            app.Panel.Visible = 'on';
        otherwise
            app.Panel.Visible = 'off';
    end
end

I would have to set the visibility of the panel to the desired visibilty at launch using the inspector. There is a check box for visible in the Panel Interactivity section of the inspector.

I have a menu, not a tab group. When i click for example on 'menu2' and on a 'submenu2' i want to display my panel. I think is quite similar, but i don't know ho to fix the problem.

Ah, sorry. The OP mentioned clicking on a tab. You can add a MenuSelectedFcn callback. For example, to have it appear when selecting Menu2

% Menu selected function: Menu2
function Menu2Selected(app, event)
    app.Panel.Visible = 'on';
end

You would have to add the code to turn off visibility to whatever function you use to close the menu.
