Hi Yair,

Thanks for the quick reply. I will take a look!

@David – almost all the GUI customizations described in this blog relate only to the legacy (Java-based) figures. AppDesigner-created figures (so-called “uifigures”) are web-based HTML pages displayed in a browser window, which is an entirely different technology. To customize uifigure controls see the series of posts on uifigure customization: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/tag/uifigure

@Nipurn – yes this is possible using findjobj:

hEditbox = uicontrol('style','edit', ...); drawnow
jEditbox = findjobj(hEditbox);
try jEditbox = jEditbox.getViewport.getView; end  % in case it's a multi-line editbox
caretPos = jEditbox.getCaretPosition;  % or: =get(jEditbox,'CaretPosition');

There’s also a corresponding setCaretPosition(position) method.

I have an application where there are several buttons that apply a specific function to the data. The user can also enter values in the edit box. However if the cursor is positioned in the edit box and a button is pressed the new function will appear at the end of the edit box and I need that this appear at cursor position how to do this?
Is it possible by using javaframe available on matlab?

Hi,
of course i meant multiline editbox 🙂 I figured it out myself with the addHighlight method of jEditbox 🙂
Thanks anyway

@Raj – I do not think that this is supported in a single-line editbox, but you can always use a multi-line editbox or listbox.
