Can't set 'MSB Position' parameter of HDL Coder Bit Slice block programmatically. Any ideas?

Hi all!

I'm trying to programmatically (using set_param) set the 'MSB Position' parameter of a Bit Slice block, but I get this error:

Bit Slice block (mask) does not have a parameter named 'MSB Position'

I have also tried several variants like 'MSB_Position', 'MSB', 'MSBPosition', ... etc. but nothing seems to work.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known issue?

Is there a workaround to programmatically doing this? (apart from directly editing the .slx file, which I know is a solution but I'd really like to avoid)

By the way, I'm using MATLAB Version 8.6 (R2015b) and Simulink Version 8.6 (R2015b).

Thanks!

Looking at base mask the edit boxes are associated with lidx and ridx parameter names on the block.

>> set_param(gcb, 'lidx', '20') >> set_param(gcb, 'ridx', '0')
