Dear Yair,

As an experienced Matlab user, I have been following your site for quite some time now. With your great series of articles on the Toolstrip, I managed to build a professionally looking app from scratch in an afternoon. Thanks for all the information and tips and tricks; without these it would have been so much more work! As many of your readers, I am really looking forward to Part 10(+).

Hi yair,
I have tested your miniserie. All works fine with R2019b except some built in demos (as noted by many users) which require older releases.
You say that toolstrip can be also attached to figure and uifigure. What is the equivalent of
hToolGroup.addTabGroup(hTabGroup) for these windows container?

We are all impatient to read the future “part 10”.

Best regards
Alain

Hi,
I really love this mini series! (I’ve been looking for something like this for quite a while)

I have two questions about the toolstrip:
1) (How) Is it possible to embed e.g. a Tree control into the DataBrowser
2) How can I modify to small toolbar in the top right corner of the ToolStrip (e.g. exchange Icons/Buttons).

Best,
Gebhard

Hi,
Dear Yair, Thank you for your information.
I have a question in “showcaseMPCDesigner.m”, we have a function named “createDialog”, that makes a local popup.
I want to make sth like that, so it has 10 text-fields with a label and has a callback function.
At first, I can’t make more than 3 text-fields, and second of all, I can’t make a callback function.

I’ll be glad if you can help me.

In reply to karthik. @Karthik - you can pass hToolGroup as an extra parameter to your callback function when you set it up, using cell-array notation (details). I plan to discuss tear-off dialogs in my next post in this Toolstrip mini-series, when I will discuss the Toolpack framework. The General idea is that hToolGroup.showFigureDialog() accepts a figure as input parameter and then displays it, while hToolGroup.showTearOffDialog() accepts a Toolpack panel as input (not hFig as you thought) and then displays it. In Matlab releases R2018a or older that do not have the hToolGroup.showFigureDialog() function, you can create it yourself in a separate showFigureDialog.m file. I added a section in the main post that explains how.

yair, i am an ardent follower of your undocumented matlab work. i love your present posts on tool strips. Am trying to implement the last post on file chooser using push button call back. however, i receive the following error:

Undefined variable "hToolGroup" or class "hToolGroup.showFigureDialog".
Warning: Error occurred while evaluating listener callback.

hToolGroup is not recognized inside the callback as it is not passed i guess. can you help me out? Also, I have matlab 2018a in which toolgroup.m doesnt have hToolGroup.showFigureDialog(hFig,hButton); instead it has hToolGroup.showTearOffDialog(hFig,hButton);
