Widgetpalooza: 12 widgets coded up in a GUI

This short video starts with two minutes of trying every widget on the example GUI. Then there is five and a half minutes of showing the callbacks on the widgets.

  • Push button
  • Push button with a picture
  • Radio button
  • Edit box
  • Multi-line edit box
  • Toggle button

    very comprehensive I like it. This should benefit a lot of new users in MATLAB gui!

    Very nice Doug. Lots of people will benefit from this!

    Hi, i want to know how can i program uitable to be displayed in a separate window after pressing a pushbotton for example?
    If i press pushbutton again the context of the table may change also.
    kind regards.

    I think lacked explain Edit box’s Callback. Or not?

  5. Doug replied on :

    Something!

    Oops. Looks like it got lost in editing. Just modify the

    function edit1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

    Muzaffar,

    For two window GUIs, you will want to watch this video.

    I’m building a GUI, so far so good until I tried to make it object oriented. Say that my GUI is in a function called gui.m, and the essential function that is going to be used by gui.m are both dct.m and tmt.m, here lies the problem, both dct.m and tmt.m produces histograms, which uses panels inside gui.m for generating the histograms. How do I deal with the coding, since it will use a handle for the panel inside the gui.m (I don’t use axes for those histograms).

    What would you suggest me in this situation.

    Regards,

    Fikri

    Fikri,

    I am not sure I understand your question. I think you might be better sending the simplified code and the question to support@mathworks.com

    Thanks,
    Doug

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
