\nI’d like to welcome guest blogger Denis Hanson from the GUI Building team. Denis will occasionally be blogging here on the Inside the MATLAB Desktop<\/a> blog.

In R2008a, we added the uitable<\/tt> control, as well as support for this new control in Guide. The uitable<\/tt> component enables the display of data in a two dimensional table. You can use the Property Inspector<\/a> or the new Table Property Editor<\/a> to get and set uitable<\/tt> object property values (to open the Property Inspector type inspect<\/tt><\/a> at the command prompt; to open the Table Property Editor, right-click your uitable<\/tt> in Guide and select Table Property Editor…<\/i>).<\/p>\n

The Table Property Editor makes it easy to define the layout of a table inside Guide. The Property Inspector could be used to achieve the same results, though it’s not targeted to uitable<\/tt>. Lets look at using the Table Property Editor to setup a uitable<\/tt>.<\/p>\n

Table properties fall into four natural categories, which are presented on separate panels. Here’s a listing of each of the Table Property Editor’s panels, and what you can do on each:<\/p>\n
