Iliya Romm (19 days 0 hours ago): To anybody attempting this in R2019b (and later?): unless you specify the image size, nothing will be shown!. A solution is presented in this answer str = [''];
Yair Altman (23 days 2 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 (23 days 3 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 (29 days 20 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 (38 days 2 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...
Jacob (38 days 11 hours ago): So, I’m having trouble finding information on this. If I change the border of a button, then change the background color, the border resets. Then I am not able to change the...
Sky (40 days 19 hours ago): Matlab seems to catch on to mustBeMember and offers tab completion options when it is used. classdef foo < matlab.mixin.SetGet properties Coordinates {mustBeMember(Coordinates,{...

Yair Altman (51 days 12 hours ago): @Philip – in the Java-based uitable you can use JIDE’s CellStyle to customize specific cells. Refer to JIDE’s documentation for details. In the web-based...
Philip (51 days 13 hours ago): Yair, You may have addressed this already in the past, if so, please kindly point me to the appropriate article(s). My issue is with creating a table which has (not column but) cell...
Yair Altman (56 days 10 hours ago): The javacomponent function returns 2 objects: a Java reference and a Matlab container. Simply set the value of the Units property of the Matlab container to...
Neeks (56 days 15 hours ago): This looks elegant. Thank you. One issue I am not able to sort out – on maximizing the figure window the location of “javax.swing.JSliderR 21; object does not scale...
Xiangrui Li (61 days 7 hours ago): Hi Yair, Thank you for digging into this. It seems I need following to get CEF container = struct(controllerProps.Platfor mHost);
Yair Altman (61 days 18 hours ago): Matlab recently modified the internal structure. You can now access the web-window (CEF) object as follows: hFig = uifigure(...); warning off MATLAB:structOnObject % suppress...
