UiTable Cell Selection Callback executes only when cell selection changes

In AppDesigner, the cell selection call back only executes when the cell selection changes.

Thus I believe this is more accrately a 'cell selection changed' callback?

How do you get the callback to execute everytime it is selected without clicking a different cell first?

Thanks!

I have been trying to work this out too..and I have been convinced that it's currently not a thing :(. hoping someone can prove me wrong

This is not intuitive and is not what most users are familiar with but Mathworks team might have reason for this.

There is no way, as of now, to trigger cellSelectionCallback by pressing same cell again. I can suggest a work around for this, assuming you don't want to click any other cell, and want to initiate another callback for same cell.

Select column header (which will select whole column) and in your cellSelection Callback, add following lines in the start.

    if size(event.Indices,1)>1
      return;
    end

We have to switch selection, but I assume you don't want to do it by selecting other cell as it may trigger callback for that particular cell, that's why I'm suggesting to select column and use the code mentioned above.

For our project, we used Tabulator js lib with the HTML component and implementing necessary callbacks using a switch case and a key-value pair messaging...

This workaround is not really helpful, because staff would have to be told that they need click this and that.
