MATLAB: Pop up menu

popupmenu

Hi, how can I set pop up menu for example to choise 2 ?

Value={2}; set(handles.popupmenu,'Value');

But this doesn't work. 🙁

Best Answer

Value = 2;
set(handles.popupmenu, 'Value', Value);

'Value' refers to the "Value" property of the pop up menu. The second Value refers to the actual value you want to set the "Value" property to.

To load the popup with numbers:

listItems = cell(10,1);
for k = 1 : 10
    listItems{k} = num2str(k);
end
set(handles.popup1, 'String', listItems);

To get the index of the selected item:

get(handles.popup1, 'Value');

Vlad - assuming that you are using GUIDE to create your GUI, suppose your five popup menus are named popupmenu1, popupmenu2,..., popupmenu5. If we assume that only numeric data has populated each of your popup menus, then the callback for your push button would look something like

 function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
 % get the list of items in the first popup menu
 menu1List = get(handles.popupmenu1,'String');
 % get the selected item in the first popup menu and convert to a number
 menu1Item = str2num(menu1List{get(handles.popupmenu1,'Value')});

You would then just repeat the above code for the remaining four popup menus and do whatever operation you need against them.
