display a MATLAB table in a figure

I want to output a very simple table in a figure. After a little research the function uitable(..) seems to be well suited for this. I have written the following test code:

uitable_id = strings(1,3);
uitable_links = strings(1,3);
uitable_id(1,:) = ["1", "2", "3"];
uitable_links(1,:) = ["string1", "string1", "string1"];
T = table(uitable_links','RowNames',uitable_id');

fig = figure();
uitable(fig,'Data',T,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',[0, 0, 1, 1]);

However, I get the following error message:

Error using uitable

Functionality not supported with figures created with the figure function.

I already looked at other questions and couldnt solve my problem.

Thank you for the quick feedback. The test script works this way. However, if I implement this in my actual scripts as well, a similar error message appears again:

Error using appwindowfactory

Functionality not supported with figures created with the uifigure function.

The only relevant difference from the test script is that my actual scripts work within a MATLAB App Designer environment. From MATALB App Designer external MATLAB scripts are started, which should create these figures. Does MATALB App Designer affect uifigure and my actual goal of creating a table in a figure?

Ok, It is probably due to syntax on how the uifigure is called inside the app.

Try using below inside the app designer code

% app.UIFigure 
fig = app.UIFigure;
uitable_id = strings(1,3);
uitable_links = strings(1,3);
uitable_id(1,:) = ["1", "2", "3"];
uitable_links(1,:) = ["string1", "string1", "string1"];
T = table(uitable_links','RowNames',uitable_id');

uitable(fig,'Data',T,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',[0, 0, 1, 1]);

fig = uifigure();

Use uifigure

[VBBV]

uitable_id = strings(1,3);
uitable_links = strings(1,3);
uitable_id(1,:) = ["1", "2", "3"];
uitable_links(1,:) = ["string1", "string1", "string1"];
T = table(uitable_links','RowNames',uitable_id');

fig = uifigure();
uitable(fig,'Data',T,'Units', 'Normalized', 'Position',[0, 0, 1, 1]);
