MATLAB: Assign same panel to different tabs UITAB

Question

I am currently trying to create a gui in GUIDE. I have created 2 tabs using uitab in a uitabgroup. I have 2 panels, of which 1 is changing when you switch between tabs (panel P1a and P1b). The other should remain the same (P2). My question is, how can I see panel P2 in both tabs? Code is as follows:

handles.tgroup = uitabgroup('Parent', handles.figure1)

handles.tab1 = uitab('Parent', handles.tgroup, 'Title', 'Import Text')

handles.tab2 = uitab('Parent', handles.tgroup, 'Title', 'Import Excel')

set(handles.P1a,'Parent',handles.tab1)

set(handles.P2,'Parent',handles.tab1)

set(handles.P1b,'Parent',handles.tab2)

set(handles.P2,'Parent',handles.tab2)

Currently, this code does not work, since I only connect P2 to tab2 because of the last line.

Thanks, Reinier

Answer 1

Just reparent it in the 'SelectionChangedFcn' callback of the uitabgroup. It only needs to be parented by a tab if that tab is the currently selected one since you can never view 2 tabs at the same time.
