MATLAB: GUI Uitable: set column data to variable

guiuitable

Hey, all, thanks for reading this,

I set up a GUI uitable with some data, and I would like to use that data in another callback function. I was wondering, how do I select data on a column by column basis in other callback functions and assign it locally to variables?

Thanks for your advice

% i am not sur that i have understood

 data=get(handles.uitableName,'Data')
%data is a cell array, then extract any column you want
 c1=data(:,1)   % the first column

MATLAB: Adding data to Matlab GUI Table from a listbox

It can be done as Amardeep suggested. But I think adding a push button is better as it avoids accidental operation when clicking on the table.

In the uitable CellSelectionCallback, you need to save the indices of the selected cell

setappdata(hObject,'CurrentCell',eventdata.Indices);

In the push button callback, you need to read the list box and then assign the new value. The following code assumes the uitable contains cell data and all columns are editable.

Indices=getappdata(handles.uitable1,'CurrentCell');
Data=get(handles.uitable1,'Data');
List=get(handles.listbox1,'string');
NewData=List{get(handles.listbox1,'value')};
Data{Indices(1),Indices(2)}=NewData;
set(handles.uitable1,'Data',Data);

MATLAB: Uitable: setValueAt() ignores HTML code

Hi Stephan,

I understand you are trying to achieve certain functionality in uitable but using findjobj. Not sure the purpose of using findjobj and the use case where its required to use the setValue function.

Alternatively you can use the matlab uitable directly to achieve the required functionality.

Here is the code -

ut = uitable('Data',{'<html><font color="red">cell contents'})
ut.Data{1,1} = 'cell contents'

Thanks, Vineeta
