Hello,
I have the following function, which creates a dialog with two textboxex (Textbox1 and Textbox2 and a checkbox). I would like two things to happen as I type text in Textbox 1:
- toggle the checkbox
- programatically copy the text from Textbox1 to Textbox2
Toggling the checkbox always works, however programatically copying the same text in Textbox 2 only works if I add a breakpoint in the Textbox_callback function. If I do not add this breakpoint, then Textbox2 will only display the "original text" text each time I change the text in Textbox1.
What am I doing wrong?
function choosedialog d = dialog('Position',[300 300 250 200],'Name','Serial Number'); Textbox1 = uicontrol('Parent',d,... 'Style','edit',... 'Position',[20 100 210 40],... 'String','original text',... 'KeyPressFcn',@Textbox_callback); ck1 = uicontrol('Parent',d,... 'Style','checkbox',... 'Position',[20 150 210 40],... 'String','Checkbox'); Textbox2 = uicontrol('Parent',d,... 'Style','edit',... 'Position',[20 40 210 40],... 'String',''); %focus automatically on textbox
uicontrol(Textbox1); % Wait for d to close before running to completion
uiwait(d); function Textbox_callback(Textbox1,event) ck1.Value = ~ck1.Value; Textbox2.String = Textbox1.String; endend
