MATLAB: Popupmenu for uitable column names

popupmenuuitable

Hello,

I am interested in having a popupmenu for the column names for my uitable. I know that the cells may be popupmenus, but is it possible for the actual column name to be a popupmenu?

Thanks, Cory

Not with any documented function. You might be able to do something with the hints at undocumentedmatlab.com

You should use CellEditCallback:

set(handles.uitable1, 'ColumnFormat', {'A' 'R'},'CellEditCallback',@myFun) 
function myfun(varargin)
% Check for the value
% Do stuff
end

MATLAB: Adding values to a table using a pushbutton

George - presumably the add pushbutton is on the second GUI and you need to transfer the data from the edit text box(es) from it to the table in the first GUI. Since you state that you have been able to use Tag and Guidata to called the handles from the gui with the table then that suggests that you know how to have your two GUIs communicate with each other (if this is not the case, see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/146215-pass-data-between-gui-s for an example).

Suppose then that you have the following pushbutton callback in your second GUI

 function add_pushbutton(hObject,eventdata,handles)
 % use guidata to get the handles of the first GUI (assumes that first GUI tag is Gui1)
 hGui1  = findobj('Tag','Gui1');
 if ~isempty(hGui1)
     handlesGui1 = guidata(hGui1);
     % get the data that is already in the table
     tableData = get(handlesGui1.uitable1, 'Data');
     % get the data from your edit box(es) on GUI 2
     % update tableData with new data
     tableData = [tableData ; ....];
     % update the table in GUI 1
     set(handlesGui1,'Data',tableData);
 end

Try the above and see what happens!
