The hgfeval function
The semi-documented hgfeval function can be useful for callback chaining - this article explains how
Callbacks
Matlab-Java interface using a static control
The switchyard function design pattern can be very useful when setting Matlab callbacks to Java GUI controls. This article explains why and how.
Accessing plot brushed data
Plot data brushing can be accessed programmatically using very simple pure-Matlab code
Advanced JIDE Property Grids
JIDE property grids can use complex cell renderer and editor components and can signal property change events asynchronously to Matlab callbacks
Matlab and the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT)
The Java Swing Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) is very important for Matlab GUI timings. This article explains the potential pitfalls and their avoidance using undocumented Matlab functionality.
Inactive Control Tooltips & Event Chaining
Inactive Matlab uicontrols cannot normally display their tooltips. This article shows how to do this with a combination of undocumented Matlab and Java hacks.
Continuous slider callback
Matlab slider uicontrols do not enable a continuous-motion callback by default. This article explains how this can be achieved using undocumented features.
setPrompt – Setting the Matlab Desktop prompt
The Matlab Desktop's Command-Window prompt can easily be modified using some undocumented features
uiundo – Matlab's undocumented undo/redo manager
The built-in uiundo function provides easy yet undocumented access to Matlab's powerful undo/redo functionality. This article explains its usage.
Setting listbox mouse actions
Matlab listbox uicontrol can be modified to detect mouse events for right-click context menus, dynamic tooltips etc.
