How to share variables across Matlab App Designer Apps

26 views (last 30 days)
I have 2 apps, the first app is the main screen from which all functions are performed. The MainScreen app has 1 parameter named " QueryResult" and is coded in the following way.
properties (Access = public)
QueryResult table % Description
end
The MainScreen app also has a button that opens the second app. The second app is the 'advanced search' screen where a user can perform a search and get a table. The table in question is 1x24 and stored in the variable "data". I tried storing the found table into the MainScreen property like so:
data = fetch(conn,query);
MainScreen.QueryResult = data;
If I then access the QueryResult property and print it from the AdvancedSearch app I get the expected result.
display(MainScreen.QueryResult)

However if I go back into the MainScreen app and try to access the property from within, it is empty and trying to display it results in a 0x0 table. I have no idea what the problem is, and where the fault is occuring. I'd be very appreciative to anyone who could offer answers.
display(app.QueryResult)
