MATLAB: UItable CellSelectionCallback

cellselectioncallbackindicesuitable

How do I get the position of a call when I select it in a uitable? I know you can associate a CellSelectionCallback with a table, but what is the property to pull? A similar question two years ago said the proper field is Indices but this doesn't seem to work for me (Note, I am using R2008a). I would be expecting get(t,'Indices') to do the trick for me (t is the table), but such a field isn't recognized.

The CellSelectionCallback will be passed a minimum of two parameters, the first of which will be the uitable handle, and the second of which is the event data, which people commonly program to be received into the variable named "event". For CellSelectionCallback, event will be a structure which will have one field named "Indices" and it is that you want to look at.

For example,

function GasPricesTable_Selection_CB(src, event)
  selected_cells = event.Indices;

The UserData does not contain the index of the cell selection. To get the index of your cell selection you need to use the 2nd input to the callback function. See below.

Assuming delete_row_Callback() is a cell selection callback function, hObject is the first input, eventdata is the second input,

D=hObject.Data; 
Index=eventdata.Indices; 
D(Index(1), :) = []; 
hObject.Data = D;

Add button to your code of this form: handles.uitable is the handle to your uitable.

% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton1.
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
data = get(handles.uitable, 'data');
data(end+1,:) = 0;
set(handles.uitable,'data',data)
