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 =
     []

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.

I’ll do a post or two about systemdependent but look at my long TODO list: so little time, so much to do…

This could be a nice File Exchange submission – care to tackle it?

You can get some pointers by looking at the code within my UIInspect utility on the File Exchange.

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
action = jHandle.getActionMap.get('postTip');
actionEvent = ActionEvent(jHandle, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, 'postTip');
action.actionPerformed(actionEvent);

The mouse does not even have to be anywhere near the GUI object!

Unfortunately, this hack requires the Java reference of the GUI object, and is not available for Matlab handles. To get a Matlab handle’s underlying Java reference you can use my FindJObj utility on the File Exchange and then use the hack.
