Enabling multiple Edit Fields

Hi,

I want that my programm enables different EditFields in App designer on the basis of a variable a. The names of the EditFields are stored in a cell array.

a=2;

EditFieldList={app.EditField1.Enable,app.EditField2.Enable,app.EditField3.Enable}

for z=1:1:a

EditFieldList{z}=1;

end

The code isn't working because i can't access the the variable names itself but only the output (in this case [off]).

Is there a way to be able to activate/deactivate the EditFields in a loop?

I suspect this is what you need. I don't know if this works in AppDesigner, but this is how it normally works in Matlab:

a=2;
EditFieldList={app.EditField1,app.EditField2,app.EditField3};
for z=1:a
   EditFieldList{z}.Enable=1;
end

You could even try setting it without a loop if you use an array of objects instead of a cell array:

EditFieldList=[app.EditField1,app.EditField2,app.EditField3];
set(EditFieldList(1:a),'Enable',1)
