@Tim – the new uidatepicker() function only works with web-based figures (created using the uifigure() function or App Designer); it is not available on the legacy Java-based figures, and practically everything in this article relates to Java-based figures, and the controls are Java-based (not HTML/Javascript based like matlab.ui.control.DatePicker on which uidatepicker() is based).

i’m trying to use the MonthChooserPanel class.

com.mathworks.mwswing.MJUtilities.initJIDE;
handles.jPanel = com.jidesoft.combobox.MonthChooserPanel;
[handles.hPanel, handles.hContainer] = javacomponent(handles.jPanel,[100,100,300,200],gcf);
juiFunHandle = handle(handles.jPanel, 'CallbackProperties');
set(juiFunHandle, 'MousePressedCallback', @(src, evnt)CellSelectionCallback(src, evnt, handles));

function CellSelectionCallback(~, ~, handles)
    textBox = handles.testEdit;
    numRetry = 10;
    for k = 1:numRetry
        pause(0.1)
        dateString = char( javaMethodEDT('getSelectedDate', handles.jPanel));
        if ~isempty(dateString) 
            break; 
        end
    end
    set(textBox , 'String' , dateString);
end

With DateChooserPanel everything works perfectly, but i need to select only the month and year and then output them in an edit field. The CellSelectionCallback function is not normally activated when i click on a month in MonthChooserPanel, only when the month is selected and then i click on the white area next to it, it reacts, but that is not acceptable. Therefore i would to know whether it would be possible to work correctly with this Java class in Matlab.

How would I implement a renderer for com.jidesoft.combobox.DateSpinnerComboBox so that the editor remains the same (combo box with spinner) but the renderer displays as a simple center aligned text field (like javax.swing.JTextField)?

Thanks in advance,

Philip

Thank you for this interesting post, I am finding it really useful. However I am facing an issue that I am not able to solve.

I am using DateComboBox to select a date. I was able to change the language of the calendar shown using the function setLocale after identifying all possible values with: Locale.getAvailableLocales. But after selecting the date, I am not able to modify the language (or the format) in which the date string is displayed in the pop-up menu. For example it would be enough if the month was shown as number instead of with the three initial letters.

Could you please give me some advice? Thank you very much in advance!

@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.DateComboBox;
jComponent.getEditor.getEditorComponent.setText('Set Default data');
[hComponent,hContainer] = javacomponent(jComponent, [10,100,100,20], gcf);

i’m trying to set default string in DateComboBox to display before selecting date from date panel

jElement.getEditor.getEditorComponent.setText('Set default date')
jElement.getEditor.getEditorComponent.setText(java.lang.String('Set default date'))

but neither statement produces an effect. what am I wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks so much for your help Yair, code worked perfectly, you’re a life saver.
