Thanks for the very helpful videos!

Uitables seem like a convenient way to make a customized property inspector for when there are lots of adjustable parameters in the application. This works well when the parameters all have the same format, otherwise to make use of the column formatting & input features we can only make a “transposed” version (side scrolling, not so pretty).

Having row formatting as an option would be nice. Are there any plans for this in future versions - or is there a better way to go about this?

This might help you!

Please, i have never used tables before in matlab and i am using matlab R2007b. Il like to know how to create a table. This is how its supposed to work—I have 2 GUI windows, one for collecting user data like name , gender, address etc and the secon GUI window is the one that should contain the table. I will like a case whereby a user inputs his/her personal details in the first GUI and on pressing “update button” from that first GUI window, it gets added to the table of the second GUI. As different other users key in their personal details and clicks on “update button”, that table continues to be populated and updated

Here is a very simple example:

t = uitable(’Data’,{1 2 3; ‘1′ ‘2′ ‘3′})

This is a cell array with strings and numerics. It works fine.

Thanks for your advice, i have merged the data into a cell however when i select the cell in Property Inspector - Data, it will not display the cell data. If i choose a double array i have in the Workspace it displays fine!

Do i need to convert the data within the cell to allow uitable to accept it?

Thanks Doug,

You are going to have to decide how you want these odd shaped pieces to fit together. I recommend putting them all into one big cell, then setting that to the data as normal.

Doug

I am investigating a way of loading the uitable with data from two variables. One is a 10×12 double however the second is a 12×13 cell. Is this achievable in any way?

Many thanks Doug,

Waggy

This was a new feature of 2008a. You will need to upgrade to get the functionality.

Doug

Thanks.

Our developers are aware of that behavior. A change in behavior is likely in an upcoming release.
