we’ve used severeal Jide classes (at least PropertyTableClass and PropertyTable) in our project for quite a long time. Recently, we migrated the project from R2010b to R2015b. Unfortunatly, in R2015b we get a warn dialog while compiling our application. The warning comes frome JIDE Software, Inc. and states “You get this message box because you didn’t input a correct license key. …”.

Do you know if it is possible to compile MATLAB code based on JIDE classes without this warning?

Thanks

@Guillaume – use the second output argument returned from javacomponent and simply set its Units property to ‘normalized’ – it should then resize automatically with your figure, without the need for propResize at all:

panel = uipanel(hFig);
[hjPane, hcPane] = javacomponent(pane, [0 0 200 300], panel);
set(hcPane,'Units','norm');

If you do want to keep using ResizeFcn, then you need to fix your code: Each time you use javacomponent in your propResiz function, you are recreating the component container etc. Instead, create the Java pane just once and keep the container handle. Then simply set this container’s Position property in the propResiz function. Something like this:

panel = uipanel(hFig);
[hjPane, hcPane] = javacomponent(pane, [0 0 200 300], panel);
set(panel,'ResizeFcn',{@propResiz,hcPane});

function propResiz(src,eventdata,hcPane)
   pos = getpixelposition(gcf);  % ensure we get it in [pixels]
   set(hcPane, 'Position', [0 0 pos(3) pos(4)]);
end

Additional information on the javacomponent function can be found here.

Thanks a lot for this incredibly helpful blog !

I’ve got a question concerning this “homemade” Property inspector. I’ve been running your example with good results but now I would like my inspector to be resizable. Do you have any idea on how to achieve that ?

Here is my way of doing right now ( adapted last lines of your example ) :

 
% Display the properties pane onscreen
hFig = figure('MenuBar','none',...
              'Position',[200 200 200 300],...
              'Name','My Property Inspector',...
              'NumberTitle','off');
panel = uipanel(hFig,'ResizeFcn',{@propResiz,pane});
javacomponent(pane, [0 0 200 300], panel);
 
% Wait for figure window to close & display the prop value
uiwait(hFig);
disp(prop1.getValue());

function propResiz(src,eventdata,pane)
   pos = get(gcf,'Position');
   javacomponent(pane, [0 0 pos(3) pos(4)], src);
end

But I feel like there must be something better that I can’t see because of my lack of Java and javacomponent knowledge…

Thanks,

Guillaume

Hi Yair,

My apologies. I thought the explanation for the example was all above the code itself. Leave it to a programmer to read a tutorial “serially”. 🙂

@Jason – as explained in the article, javaclass is a function that is included in the Property Grid utility, or directly downloadable from here. After downloading this Java class, you need to place it in your Java classpath (see javaclasspath).
