making checkboxes in uitable mutually exclusive

Hello,

I have a uitable with four columns and i have set columnformat of one column as logical. By that way i am having checkboxes in uitable.

I now want those check boxes to be mutually exclusive. how it can be done ?

You need to perform this task by using the property CellEditCallback (callback when data in a cell is changed)

Isnot there, any better way to do ? The way you said, then i have to update data properties of table whenever i click in one of those checkboxes, which is not very optimal !

[Titus Edelhofer]

No, there is no better way. And as long as your table has less then many thousand entries it should work fine.

[Sukuchha]

thank you for your suggestion.

I implemented the way you showed.

         temp = cell2mat(Table_data(:,4));
         idx = ~ismember(1:Table_data_rows,row); % row is idx of cell changed
         temp (idx) = 0;
         Table_data(:,4) = num2cell(temp);
         set(hObject,'Data',Table_data);

Whenever my cell is changed, certain calculation are made, the code of which i have put below the code mentioned above. But stragely, my table is updated only after the calculation are finished for CellEditCallback function. While the funciton is running i have two checkboxes in the uitable !

how to overcome this !

drawnow() after you set() the value you want to appear.
