To call the the getpercentage function successfully, you need to feed it the property variables as an input, so add "app" as an input.

function [] = getpercentage(app)
        %Update text of Edit field
        for ii = 1:100
            percentage = num2str(ii);
            app.PercentageEditField.Value = percentage;
        end
end

Then simply call the function within a call back.

function PercentageEditFieldValueChanged(app, event)
        getpercentage(app)            
end

Is there a reason why you want to iterate through 100 values for the editfield? If it is for testing purposes, you could use TestCase.

For example:

tc = matlab.uitest.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;
for ii = 1:100
    percentage = num2str(ii);
    tc.type(app.PercentageEditField,percentage)
end

in my sinario I have a while loop where I'm iterating with numerous videos, i want to create a status bar for each video when the video been processed from different script which runs after I click run button from the AppUI by collecting video paths from import button.

Have you considered using uiprogressdlg?

[Sujay Muniraju]

Thanks a lot, I should, this is second times I got suggest to use uiprogressdlg, first time when i asked mathworks about why Matlab live script doesn't have clear output option for particular to disp statments in live script,

Ex: if I'm running log values from a loop because when it goes overbound we can't see current log value on display usually.
