Khandija,

Please contact technical support. I expect that if you configured everything correctly (using defaults) that if the popup menu were placed inside that panel it would keep the same visibility properties as you expect it should.

When you send in the request, please include the relevant files and the reproduction steps. they will take a look at it.

I added a popupmenu to a uipanel. Now if want to keep the visible mode “off” for my panel, the popupmenu is still displayed. So i have to keep the visible mode “off” for my popupmenu separately. I want the popupmenu and the uipanel to act as one entity so that when I keep the visible mode “off” for the panel, the popupmenu should become invisible automatically. Is that possible?

thanks,
khadija

thanks for the post. i’m a newbie to MATLAB. I have a very basic question.
How can I bind a popupmenu to a uipanel using property inspector?

thanks,
khadija

Tomas,

In the above case, 5 is the handle. When you GET it, you are actually losing the handle that you want. Look at his example.

a = figure(1)
handle = a
notHandle = get(a)

Hi Doug,

thank you for your postings and videos. i really like them. i have now a question regarding this posting here. how can i get the handle into a variable?

i identify the figure i need using get(0,’children’) and then checking the name of the figure.

now, if i know that my figure is the nr. 5 for example, how can i get the handle to it?

handle = get(5);
set(handle,’Name’,'test’)

returns an error. handle is in this case not the handle, but the structure of the properties of the figure.

thank you very much,

tom
