I do have a slight problem - if the page I'm viewing has some dhtml pop up window, it shows like an error message and there's nothing I can do - the whole program is stuck until I turn it off (click ok or something). Here's an example of such a web page: http://www.domainscalping.com/ (simply let the page load, and then refresh the screen to see the popup). Is there a way to monitor such messages and handle them via the code? Or maybe disable them? Thanks :) Hi,

iconsClassName = 'com.mathworks.widgets.BusyAffordance$AffordanceSize';
iconsSizeEnums = javaMethod('values',iconsClassName);
SIZE_32x32 = iconsSizeEnums(2);  % (1) = 16x16
jObj = com.mathworks.widgets.BusyAffordance(SIZE_32x32,'testing...');
javacomponent(jObj.getComponent,[10,10,80,80],gcf);
jObj.start;
    % do some long operation...
jObj.stop;

In order to save CPU ressources, i try to take advantages of animated GIF. After having considered timer functions for refreshing an axes, i finaly came out to use an HTML browser that can render basic animated GIFs. Your tip provides me a great solution, however, i'm wondering how i can remove the scrollbars that appear when i set the url to any image file : <pre lang="matlab">browser.setCurrentLocation('toto.gif');</pre> I can't see any method dealing with scrolling by typing :<pre lang="matlab">methodsview(browser)</pre> I will try to work on browser size, but i appreciate if you can provide some hints. Thanks. Arnaud Hi Yair,

I can’t see any method dealing with scrolling by typing :

methodsview(browser)

I will try to work on browser size, but i appreciate if you can provide some hints.

Even regular browsers need to use Acrobat (or another PDF reader like Foxit) to display PDF. @Sid – I don’t think so.

That should be without opening a new acrobat reader window. Thanks Sid Hi Yair,

I have been struggling with the limited HTML capabilities of the JEditorPane but now you gave me a solution that really works out of the box. Thanks for a great tip!
