I want to open a uitable using an imported file with app designer. The file will be imported using a button, followed by a few different commands to determine what kind of file it is, followed by a 'readtable' command to actually import the table along with any user defined specifications (opts). I want to the uitable to be opened in a new window because there is too much data to display on the front of my app. I have tried serval different methods to do this but have had no success. I'm copying my code for the function when the button is pushed (which is the most relevant to this). I apologize for not commenting out my code very well.
% Button pushed function: SelectFileButton
function SelectFileButtonPushed(app, event) app.CheckFileEditField.Value = ' '; app.WarningLabel.Text = ' '; if contains(app.InFilePathName, '.') %checking for period('.') in filename.
index = strfind(app.InFilePathName,'.'); FileExtension = app.InFilePathName(index(end)+1:end); ValidSpreadsheetExtensions={'xlsx', 'xls', 'xlsm', 'xlsb', 'xltx', 'xltm','ods'}; if ismember(FileExtension,ValidSpreadsheetExtensions) app.CheckFileEditField.Value = 'Proper File'; FileType = 'spreadsheet'; VariableNamesRange=strcat('A',num2str(app.NumHeaderLinesEditField.Value+1)); app.opts = detectImportOptions(app.InFilePathName,'FileType',FileType,'VariableNamesRange',VariableNamesRange,'Sheet',app.SheetToImportEditField.Value,'PreserveVariableNames',true); else app.CheckFileEditField.Value = 'Improper File'; FileType='text'; %'text';
app.opts = detectImportOptions(app.InFilePathName,'FileType',FileType,'PreserveVariableNames',true); end my_table = readtable(app.InFilePathName,app.opts); app.UITable.Data = my_table; %fig = figure;
%uit = handles.UITable;
%uit(fig);
%newFig = figure();
%copyobj(app.UITable, newFig);
else app.WarningLabel.Text = {'*Warning: Incorrect file name format'}; %send this warning if filename does not contain a period.
end end
