Select a file from a dropdown

Hi,

Right now my app when starts with the startupfnc I select a specific dir with uigetdir, so now I want to have all the ".xlsx" files of the dir in a dropdown.

Thanks for your help.

See uigetfile instead (don't make your user go through two dialogs when can select the directory in the latter as well). Hopefully you can have a reasonable guess at where should be for a default starting location...

Hi,

You can use a combination of dir and uidropdown.

dir('*.xlsx');

will return all files with '.xlsx' extension in the present directory.

The appropriate elements from the structure returned by 'dir' can be used as inputs for 'uidropdown'
