Why is GUIDE not allowing me to have one (1) column and three (3) rows in my table? It seems as if the default table is 4 x 2

Is there away i can get a 3x1 table

thanks in advance,

Cordelle

In the table's createFcn add the following line:

set(handles.table1,'Data',cell(3,1));

Where table1 is the 'Tag' of your table.

[Cordelle]

This error message occured:

Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.

Error in MasterSet>table1_CreateFcn (line 104)

set(handles.table1, 'Data', cell(3,1));

[Sean de Wolski]

interesting... What is being referenced in the createfcn?

perhaps:

set(hObject,'Data',cell(3,1))

?

[Cordelle]

the program ran without any errors; however, I still dont have a 3,1 table.

[Tom]

@Sean - I think the handles structure has yet to be assembled when the CreateFcn is sent to?

[Sean de Wolski]

You're right Tom.

@Cordelle, I'm surprised it did not take. What if you move:

set(handles.table1,'Data',cell(3,1));

To the GUI's OutputFcn.?

[Cordelle]

same result, still not able to get a 3x1 table

[Tom]

Try running this in the command line:

set(0,'DefaultUITableData',cell(3,1))

[Cordelle]

im really not sure of what the issue is, I thought that matlab would make it easy to get a 3x1 table especialy in guide. I tried typing the command in the commandline and changing my GUI in the figure window and the table still wont be a 3x1 table

[Tom]

I just made a quick GUI using GUIDE and the CreateFcn worked. Are you setting the table data anywhere else in the code?

[Sean de Wolski]

The thing about GUIDE is that it sets it will set its own defaults and does not necessarily obey the root's defaults.

Try this:

1. Create a new blank GUI.
2. Add a table to it
3. Save it as something
4. Add the following line to the first line of the GUI's OutputFcn

set(handles.uitable1,'Data',cell(3,1))

Does this not work for you?

[Cordelle]

yes, it works. I dont know why its not working on the GUI i already created. I guess i just have to work on it.

Thank you

If you want default contents, instead of setting an empty cell, set it to some default values.

Answer 2

[Iain]

In your workspace, generate the default contents for the table. Set the data on the table to that.

[Tom]

If you want the table to remain empty for the time being, set the data as

cell(3,1)

[Cordelle]

Lain,

can you give me directions on how to go to the workspace and generate the default contents of the table?

[Iain]

ok Cordeiie,

At your matlab command line type something like:

 default = {5 '4' 3};

You can also set the width of the column you wanna remove to 0.
