Yair Altman (7 hours 37 minutes ago): I assume that you refer to the html tags example for uitable at the bottom of the article. If you click a uitable cell, you enter editor mode, and this may behave in an...
Ajay Krishna (11 hours 39 minutes ago): Hello Yair, i tried replicating the example with all the cells center aligned. The problem is when i click the 1st cell the text of neighbouring cell changes to white or it...
Vinicius (1 day 20 hours ago): I would just like to thank you for your fantastic work. I was looking for ages for a SIMPLE way to do this!
todd welti (11 days 19 hours ago): Is there any way to prevent Matlab opening axis props window when you quickly turn off/on a plot line from the plot browser? I find that most annoying.
Yair Altman (13 days 19 hours ago): Perhaps you tried to access the class before you used javaaddpath to add the JAR file to the classpath. If Matlab fails to find a class, then it will not be able to access it...
mukesh Muthu (13 days 19 hours ago): i get the following error , im using matlab 2016b-64bit if i use graph = com.mxgraph.view.mxGraph Undefined variable "com" or class "com.mxgraph.view.mxGraph". if i use graph =...
Sebastian Hölz (18 days 15 hours ago): OK, Been working on this again and found a solution which works in 2020a and 2020b. Below a working example which resets the KeyPressFcn for all ui-modes after activating...

Patrick Fitzgerald (23 days 8 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 (39 days 3 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;...

Yair Altman (42 days 20 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 (42 days 20 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 (49 days 2 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 (49 days 5 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?
