App designer - how to use numpad instead of number keys?

Hi folks,

I have the following code, but was wondring if it can be adjusted to use the numpad inputs as well as the number keys?

Thanks

function UIFigureKeyPress(app, event)
    switch event.Key
        case '1'
            Incipient1ButtonPushed(app);
        case '2'
            Circular2ButtonPushed(app);
        case '3'
            Lenticular3ButtonPushed(app);
        case '4'
            Ribbon4ButtonPushed(app);
        case '5'
            Isotropic5ButtonPushed(app);
        case '6'
            Filler6ButtonPushed(app);
        case '7'
            ResinButtonCokePushed(app);
        case 'f5'
            RefreshF5ButtonPushed(app);
        case 'leftarrow'    
            ReverseButtonPushed(app);
        case 'rightarrow'
            SkipCurrentImageRightArrowButtonPushed(app);
    end
end

@Teshan Rezel, were you able to use the numpad now? I am having similar issue. I am a beginner to MATLAB app designer and I am trying to develop a calculator. I did it but I cannot use the numpad to enter the numbers.

Place a break point at the top of the UIFigureKeyPress function. Press a numpad key and look at the value of event.Key to determine the key code for numpad keys. Then add those values to the cases.

Multiple case matches are combined in cell strings.

Demo

After running these two lines, press different keys while the figure is current and look at the command window outputs.

uif = uifigure(); 
uif.KeyPressFcn = @(h,event)disp(event)
