Sam (5 days 0 hours ago): Doesn’t work for me! I am using Matlab 2018a, no different at all, even the exe file size is the same.
Joonas T. Holmi (20 days 16 hours ago): Very good comment Yair! I posted the above function too hastily… I will have to apologize for claiming above that it allows updating MATLAB’s jar files without...
Yair Altman (22 days 12 hours ago): @Claudio – I don’t know exactly what you did in your code, the following works perfectly fine for me on R2020a: jComponent = com.jidesoft.combobox.DateComb oBox;...
Yair Altman (24 days 12 hours ago): Thanks for sharing Joonas – this seems useful indeed. Users who will use your script are probably savvy Java programmers, who don’t need a reminder of the dangers in...
Joonas T. Holmi (24 days 13 hours ago): Yair and others, I found yet another way to add files to Java’s class path. See the function java_class_path_add_before_sta tic(file) below. Benefit of this new method...

Maurizio (56 days 9 hours ago): Hi Yair, how can I define a callback for a cell/row/column selection? In createTable you can define a data changed callback, but if you simply select a cell, how can you define a...
Donato (58 days 9 hours ago): Hi Yair, it seems that in Matlab R2019b this method doesn’t work. Have you some solutions? Thanks.
Maurizio (59 days 19 hours ago): Thank you Yair, I’ve supposed it, but I was not sure. Maurizio
Yair Altman (60 days 10 hours ago): headers is a simple cell array of strings (column header names). I thought that was pretty obvious from the context… Additional types of uitable customizations are...
Maurizio (60 days 10 hours ago): Hi Yair, i’m trying to use your code example to change the colors of a table cell, but I have a doubt: in the following part of your code: % Yellow background for significant...
Mike (63 days 11 hours ago): When I use the suggestion above to set the ‘defaultAxesCreateFcn 217;, it works as expected in that the axes toolbar is gone and the default behavior is to zoom. However,...
