  • Manzn (3 days 8 hours ago): Thank you man! you saved me, when there was no more light 😀
  • Yerlan (4 days 13 hours ago): Hello Mr. Altman, how can I disable menu items in the context menu? E.g. when I am trying to do this: menuItems = jmenu.getSubElements; menuItem1 = menuItems(1);...
  • Yair Altman (5 days 5 hours ago): Thanks for the note Eric – you forgot the crucial call to jTable.setLabelTable(labelTabl e) – I added it into your code snippet above.
  • Erik (6 days 16 hours ago): Thank you for this — I don’t know if this has been mentioned anywhere else before, but it could be useful to mention how to add custom labels to a jslider. I did the...
  • turhv (19 days 11 hours ago): very nice! work perfectly to me in MATLAB 2019a. thanks!!!
  • Jianfei (52 days 15 hours ago): I have tried the MathWorks CheckBoxList in Matlab 2015b. For whatever the reason, I can’t change the font properties. I can change the font color, but changing font properties...
  • Donato Coppola (58 days 10 hours ago): Hi Yair, I have a problem with the double format. When I run the treeTable function, the numbers in double format cells are displayed with comma as decimal separator. How can...
  • Kim (64 days 0 hours ago): Yair, the following didn’t work for me either: jh.setBorderPainted(false); Regards, Kim
  • Adil (66 days 2 hours ago): Thank you for the blog, it was useful for me. I have a file named App_project.mlapp.zip and when I extract it through Winzip it gives all the files exactly as you described above. I...
  • Mr Ashley Trowell (68 days 11 hours ago): Thank you so much for this analysis. Also, I find it somewhat horrifying. The take away seems to be to use && / || and NOT and / or. Thanks a bunch! ~Ashley
  • Matt (73 days 13 hours ago): Late reply I know, but you can call custom shortcuts with alt-#. Hold down Alt to see what number is assigned to the shortcuts you’ve created. Now if there was a way to create a...
  • James (81 days 8 hours ago): Is there a way to change the location of the window? They pop up at random locations and the user has to chase them down.
  • Robin (81 days 16 hours ago): Hi Yair, This has been a great help. With the removal of com.mathworks sometime in the future (as announced in R2020b), is there an alternative? For me, just getting a preference...
  • Eric Dziekonski (103 days 13 hours ago): This is fantastic! Thanks everyone! To get access to CEF on 2019b, I had to take the advise of Jeffery Devereux and Xiangrui Li. warning off MATLAB:structOnObject % suppress...
