Patrick Fitzgerald (1 day 19 hours ago): Just a heads up to anyone else digging around for help related to this: if you assign BackrgoundColor to a pushbutton-style uicontrol, it seems to prevent you from...
Vasiliy (17 days 14 hours ago): Hi Yair, i’m trying to use the MonthChooserPanel class. com.mathworks.mwswing.MJUtilit ies.initJIDE; handles.jPanel = com.jidesoft.combobox.MonthCho oserPanel;...
DM (17 days 14 hours ago): Hi Yair, I’m trying to use the MonthChooserPanel class. com.mathworks.mwswing.MJUtilit ies.initJIDE; handles.jPanel = com.jidesoft.combobox.MonthCho oserPanel; [handles.hPanel,...
Yair Altman (21 days 7 hours ago): @Alex – thanks, but keep in mind that new functions will only work on the recent Matlab releases. If your code needs to work on older Matlab releases, you could revert to...
Alex Churchill (21 days 7 hours ago): I was looking up how to do this exact task today. I was about to hold my nose and use the internal controllib function, when I happened to chance across a slightly newer...
Sebastian Hölz (27 days 13 hours ago): I have not investigated this in detail, but I think one way to go in new versions of Matlab (>2019b) might be to use listeners to suitable figure properties, e.g. fig =...
Prathep (27 days 16 hours ago): Hi Yair, Thanks for your introduction on Matlab Toostrip. Is there any way to add Matlab toolstrip for uifigures as you have done already for figure?
Josh (33 days 23 hours ago): Dear Yair, Small typo; you wrote >>Move lines up or down – CTRL + ALT + UP or DOWN allows you to move selected lines up or down but it’s actually ALT+SHIFT then UP/DOWN...
Yair Altman (40 days 17 hours ago): You can try to increase the Java heap memory size in the Matlab preferences (General => Java Heap Memory). Any changes to the settings will only take effect after restarting...
Thomas (40 days 19 hours ago): Hello, thanks for sharing! I currently receive the following memory error message when using savezip with a big object (Matlab R2020b, Windows 10). Error using...
Yair Altman (44 days 2 hours ago): Yerlan – either use menuItem1.setEnabled(0) or set(menuItem1,'Enabled',0)
Manzn (44 days 5 hours ago): Thank you man! you saved me, when there was no more light 😀
Yerlan (45 days 10 hours ago): Hello Mr. Altman, how can I disable menu items in the context menu? E.g. when I am trying to do this: menuItems = jmenu.getSubElements; menuItem1 = menuItems(1);...
Yair Altman (46 days 2 hours ago): Thanks for the note Eric – you forgot the crucial call to jTable.setLabelTable(labelTabl e) – I added it into your code snippet above.
Erik (47 days 13 hours ago): Thank you for this — I don’t know if this has been mentioned anywhere else before, but it could be useful to mention how to add custom labels to a jslider. I did the...
