set editField 'invisible' in app-designer problem

Hi:

I have a set of editField and I want to set them into 'invisible', the original display looks like below:

but after I set them into 'invisible', it becomes below:

some of the part are still there, so I want know, is there anyway to make them all disappear? or, is there any mistake with my operation?

Thanks!

it did exactly what you wanted-- the edit boxes are now invisible. Do you mean to set the texts invisible as well?

Yes, I want to set the texts invisible as well, but both the edit box and texts are belongs to the same app object.

A uieditfield control is just the box where you enter your text or number. It looks like that's what you've set to invisible. Next to each of your edit field control you have labels. These are separe controls, you'll need to set their visibility properties to 'off' as well. Something like:

app.CrankEditField.Visible = 'off';        %make the edit field invisible
app.CrankEditFieldLabel.Visible = 'off';   %make the associated label invisible
%etc.

There is no app named 'EditField', I click the part in the app window and then I can see it is highlighted in the list:

what I did is to type command:

app.CrankDelta.Visible='off';

but as a result, the text part does not disappear, as I showed in the question.

Thanks!

"There is no app named 'EditField'

You mean control? The app is the whole window.

I have no idea what your labels are called. Most likely for that CrankDelta edit control, the label is called CrankDeltaLabel.

You can easily find the name of the labels by looking at the properties of the App in code view. They'll be the control of type matlab.ui.control.Label. Note that by default the component browser doesn't list the labels associated to controls. However, you can right-click on the component tree in the component browser and tick the check mark next to Include component labels in Component Browser to have them listed.

Thank you! I found it and I'm able to set it into 'invisible'.
