Remove Highlighting in Block

Hello Community,

when i try to highlight and remove the highlight for a block programitically using hilite_system function

the Blocks loses its foreground colour which was set by default

For example:

switch block's foreground colour is green before simulation

during simulation i am highlighting it to blue

Now,After simulation when i remove the highlight using hilite_system(blockpath,'off')/ hilite_system(blockpath,'none') the default green foreground color has turned to black

I need to retain the foreground color when i remove highlighting

Please help me how to resolve this problem

Thanks

Ajay

"during simulation i am highlighting it to blue". It is not highlighting. It is changing color.

If you ran hilite_system(block,'find'), hilite_system(block,'error') then hilite_system(block,'none') or hilite_system(glock,'off'), the original foreground color of the block is preserved.

Yes you are right Fangjun but the problem is when removing the highlighting for number of blocks programtically the foreground color is not preserved.So what i did was i stored the details of block in structure,after removing the highliting the i changed the blocks to its default color with the help of structure

You certainly can do that but my point is that you don't need to do that. If you always use hilite_system() to change the foreground and background color, once you run hilite_system(block,'none'), the original foreground and background color are restored.

To remove all highlighting, right-click the model, and then select Remove Highlighting, or, on the Signal tab, click Remove Trace.

If you want to remove thethe highlinghting generated from the error in Simulink, we can remove highlighting in Simulink by "Removing Highlighting: To remove all highlighting, select Remove Highlighting from the model's context menu, or select Display > Remove Highlighting." This works for Models, however when saved as a library, this does not work.
