MATLAB: How to change gui string

buttoncheckboxguidestring

Hi, IS it possible to change the string of checkbox or button in guide? I want the user to have this option to change the string anytime they like. Like that I put the string for a checkbox as 'case1' and If user want to change it do it by pressing a button to change it to for example to 'finalcase'.

I know that code "get(handles.checkbox1,'String')" will give the result of 'case1'. Is there anycode like get, to change the string of checkbox1?

Best Answer

newlabel = get(handles.editbox1, 'String');
set(handles.checkbox1, 'String', newlabel);

MATLAB: How to make a push button that will change its text when I click on it

In order to cyclically change the text string on the push button, you need to determine what the current 'String' property value is, and set it to the other value.

Below is an example of a push button that switches the push button's String between ''Pause" and ''Resume" :

function Test_Button(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
%Create the GUI
Fig = figure;
% Create the Push button using uicontrol, using callback function push_Callback, initially the text displayed for the button is "Pause"
PushCtrl = uicontrol( Fig,'Style' ,'pushbutton',...
                            'String', 'Pause',...
                            'Position', [20 20 100 60],...
                            'Callback', @push_Callback);
% Create the handles structure
handles = guihandles(Fig);
handles.strings = {'Pause';'Resume'};
% Save the handles structure to the fig file
guidata(Fig, handles);
%%This function checks the current string of push button and changes it.
function varargout = push_Callback(h, eventdata)
% Get the handles structure
handles = guidata(h);
% Get the current string
str = get(h,'String');
% See which string the current string matches with
ind = find(strcmp(str,handles.strings));
% Switch to the other string
if ind == 1
      set(h,'String',handles.strings{2});
else
      set(h,'String',handles.strings{1});
end
