MATLAB: GUI calendar

activexgui

Hi, I have created a calendar in MATLAB GUI. I thought it was automatically change the date itself according to the computer calendar. However, everytime I opened my GUI it still gave the same time that i created it. How can I make the adjustment so it display the correct date.

In the code you must have put in a hard value for the date. Instead, use the DATE function.

str = date;
figure('numbert','off','name',str)

You didn't mention where the date was displayed, but I show it on the titlebar of the figure above. You should also consult the help for DATE, and DATESTR. DATESTR can be used with the NOW function to get the date format you like.

You need to use the correct format, and the correct syntax for the time zone. (I am using R2018a, although I would be surprised if this format and syntax have changed since it was introduced in R2014b.)

Also, you do not need the datestr call.

With those changes:

t = datetime('now','TimeZone','local','Format','dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss Z');  %%get the time
t.TimeZone = 'America/New_York' ;   %%define the city

produces:

t = 
    datetime
     21-08-2018 14:05:58 -0600
t = 
    datetime
     21-08-2018 16:05:58 -0400

Note: I am in the U.S. Mountain time zone (equivalent to 'America/Denver'), thus the offset.

MATLAB: Do certain ActiveX control objects disappear after changing graphic properties of other objects in the same MATLAB figure window

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

This is a bug in MATLAB 6.5 (R13) occurring when changing a property of the figure or one of the figure's children. Our development staff is currently investigating this issue.

Currently, to avoid having the MSCalendar ActiveX control drop down boxes disappear, run the following function that "shakes" the ActiveX control after changing a property of the figure or its children:

function shakeactx(h)
b = move(h);
b = b+1;
move(h, b);
b = b-1;
move(h, b);
