MATLAB: Question for uimenu open direction.

guiopen wayuimenu

　Hello, all. I have a simple question.

　When I generate uimenu for my GUI program, some menu is sticked out of my main command box. 　I want to control the way(direction) of my sub-menu(uimenu) open to left(inside my main box).

　Is there any way to control this uimenu property?

　Cheers,

No. It depends on the current position on the screen and the operating system controls the position of the submenus. This concerns all submenus, such that changing would influence the look&feel of the interface. This will make the GUI less intuitive - not user-friendly.

MATLAB: Callback Function of uimenu

when uimenu (undo redo) callback goes to undo or redo functions, the parent of the hObject is uimenu and not the figure itself. The parent of uimenu is figure. which means if you want to call figure, you have to write

hObject.Parent.Parent

so when you call

entries=hObject.Parent.UserData;

for uimenu, the parent is uimenu and not the figure while for buttons of redo and undo the parent is figure itself

the best option is change

hObject.Parent

with

handle

figure;
menuH = uimenu(gcf, 'Label', 'Your Menu');
h1    = uimenu(menuH, 'Label', ['<HTML><PRE>', Pool{1}]);
h2    = uimenu(menuH, 'Label', ['<HTML><PRE>', Pool{2}]);
h3    = uimenu(menuH, 'Label', ['<HTML><PRE>', Pool{3}]);
