Philip – you cannot directly use a Java control inside Java tables, such as a Property Grid. Inside a table you should use a Cell-Editor and Cell-Renderer. Showing how to integrate them inside a JIDE Property Grid is well outside the scope of this blog. You can search in Java forums, or the code within my propertiesGUI utility.

A description of how to integrate color cell renderers and editors in Java-based Matlab uitables can be found in my uitable customization report (note: this is related, but not directly applicable, to property-grids).

Could you please shed some more insight on how to use color choosers (specifically the ColorComboBox / JideColorSplitButton / or com.mathworks.mlwidgets.graphics.ColorPicker) in JIDE Property Grids? I’ve been referencing the notes you outlined in this post as well as the following two posts on your undocumented site ( http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/color-selection-components and http://undocumentedmatlab.com/using-jide-combo-boxes ), however my efforts to insert the component into the grid were unsuccessful.

Yair,

This is with reference to your response to my post on August 5, 2019. Thank you for the response. The problem I was facing was directly related to the link in your comment. The problem was fixed by simply programmatically setting the property’s default value (of class java.util.ArrayList) in the class constructor for an instance of custom class project, as opposed to setting the default value in the properties declaration.

@Philip – you probably have a bug in your code, for example reusing the same ArrayList object for all projects, rather than using a new ArrayList instance for each project instance. For example: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/handle-object-as-default-class-property-value

Using the example above, I created a ML custom class called a ‘project’ which has certain public properties of class com.jidesoft.grid.DefaultProperty so that the properties of the project can be edited from the PropertyTable. The default properties are added to a list of class java.util.ArrayList, which is also a property of the custom project class. I then created a tree that lists all the projects. I adapted the mousePressedCallback you wrote in Customizing uitree nodes – part 2, so that when each project node is double clicked its properties are displayed in the PropertyTable using:

obj.ProjModel.setOriginalProperties( project.list );
obj.ProjModel.refresh();

I thought that each instance of project would control its list and the UI would simply load the list when I double click on the project node, but it appears as though my current implementation of Arraylist is not localized to the instance of project that called it. It seems that the same list continues to be updated with every new call to project and when I double click on each project node, I get a concatenated grid of the project properties from all projects.

Any help you can give with this would be greatly appreciated.

how can make live searchable in jtable ?

??? Undefined variable "com" or class "com.jidesoft.grid.DefaultProperty".

I’m a newbiew and would appreciate ideas.

Thanks!

@Cho – my article on color-selection components might help you: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/color-selection-components

is there editor style like inspector background / foreground ?
there are color in value section and have colour picker front.
i want make inspector in color picker & background

thanks.

Dear Yair~

I solved problem that java error. Matlab & Java version is not same on my laptop…

i have more question!

your example is greatly work..
is there methods to align property value , and change heights of description zone?

Thanks..
