Help For Running MVC2

Hello, when I'm trying to run the tool called mvc2_guim when I run it some boxes are missing like this (right = from tutorial, left = mine).

And when I to read some data this message appears:

Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

Error in mvc2_gui>pushbutton14_Callback (line 1393)

pathname=get(handles.text25,'String');

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95)

feval(varargin{:});

Error in mvc2_gui (line 45)

gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

Error in

matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read>@(hObject,eventdata)mvc2_gui('pushbutton14_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))

Error while evaluating UIControl Callback.

Can anyone help me?

I notice that there is a sequel MVC3... have you experimented with that?

Tried with it now, and had the same problem:

I have extracted the archives for different folders as the manual says and added mvc3_program and N_way_toolbox to the top of MATLAB's search patch. Then located the program folder on the toolbar and righ click/run the mvc3_gui.m (no error message appeared, but some buttons are missing, different from the manual's pdf). And when tried to run the .exe archive said about mclmcrrrt713.dll is missing, but I do prefer the MATLAB version.

I think that is important to say that when I run the .m file I have a glimpse of the options interface, but then they dissapear quickly.

[Walter Roberson]

The implication would be that the controls are being deliberately turned off.

It is not uncommon to turn controls off before data has been loaded.... but even so my tests with mvc3 hint that something is going wrong with the setup.

Also, the mvc3 code is only suitable for Windows (though I don't think the changes are much.)

[William L.]

Well sounds there is something going wrong, will try to contact the developers then. Thank you for your help! If I get the resolution will post it here. :)

I am having the same problem with running mvc3_gui. The window that opens is missing most of the fields. I am using Matlab version R2021A. I contacted the developer and he suggested using the compiled version, but my my computer's virus detection quarantines the executable.

[Steven Zabarnick]

He also seemed to imply that it might be an incompatibility with Matlab versions.

[Alejandro Olivieri]

All these guis (mvc1, mvc2 and mvc3) were created with MATLAB version 2012. It seems that they are not compatible with new MATLAB versions, probably from 2014 to date.

The only suggestion I can make is to install the stand alone compiled version available at https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1TDmWQu2J10HID9TMlIYejp4UfOGdLGOP

This folder has a detailed pdf with instructions for installation of a series of MATLAB compiled programs.

I suspect you might have started running the program by double-clicking on the .fig file. You need to execute the .m file instead. If you double-click the .fig file then it will open the interface but will not execute the initialization code that is needed to tie everything together.

[William L.]

Yes, I was running with a double click on fig file, but when I choose to run the .m file the program opens, but missing more boxes like this:
