Get Simulink Block name from Callback function

1 view (last 30 days)
In Simulink, is there any way to get the name of the block whose callback function is invoked, from within the function itself? Some functionality similar to the 'this' pointer in C++?

I figured out that it was possible to do this using the "gcb" handle. So for getting the block's full name, all I had to do was:-
dev = sprintf('%s/%s',get_param(gcb, 'Parent'), get_param(gcb, 'Name'))
Hope this helps anyone else stuck with the same problem as I was.
