Yair Altman (15 days 21 hours ago): @Don – you can control the components of controllib.widget.Slider using its internal properties, as follows: >> warning off MATLAB:structOnObject % avoid warning >>...
Don (15 days 23 hours ago): I do not see a visible (on/off) property. Is there a way hide/unhide these, specifically controllib.widget.Slider. I currently just use Position and move it out of visible range. Also,...
Philip Howard (22 days 15 hours ago): Yair, Thank you for your post. Is it possible to use Matlab functions inside the SQL query for method using sqlite-jdbc? I see here that you can create custom callback...
Yair Altman (30 days 21 hours ago): The default Java Look&Feel for UI buttons paints the border together with the contents, and apparently prevents changing both of them together (reference). Changing to a...
