@Konstantin – you can set up a custom cell-editor that displays a different list of drop-down/pop-up values based on certain conditions (such as the data in another column in the same row). I explain how to do this in my book Undocumented Secrets of Matlab-Java Programming or in my uitable customization report:

@Laurent – set the TooltipString property on the toolbar icon’s handle (uipushtool, uitoggletool, uisplittool, or uitogglesplittool) – not on the toolbar handle.

any idea how to work around this ?

Thanks,

L.

The code to display tooltips programmatically does not work for uitables in newer Matlab versions anymore:

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
u = uitable('data',zeros(4,4),'tooltip','text...');
jScroll = findjobj(u);
jTable = jScroll.getViewport.getView;
action = jTable.getActionMap.get('postTip')

matlab output:

action =
     []

I ended up getting this working by adding the image file to the executable’s CTF archive (using the -a option to MCC) and then referencing it in my code by:

imagePath = fullfile(ctfroot,'mypic.png');

Then I provided imagePath as the path in the “img” tag. So…this was less of an HTML question, more about proper use of MCC.

img src=”file:\c:/user/mypic.png” worked when running my application in MATLAB, but I think the path isn’t correct when I run from my compiled exe. (Crazy MCR!)

Also, are relative paths accepted? I could only get this to work with a full path so far.

@Koelemay – datacursor popups are not tooltips and they don’t support HTML to the best of my knowledge. There’s probably a way to make them HTML-aware, if you dig deep enough in the datacursor code (\toolbox\matlab\graphics\@graphics\@datacursor\*.m, \@datatip\*.m and their relatives within \@graphics). Let us all know if you find a workaround.
