Specify Cell in GUI Table

Hello MATLABers!

I am currently updating some software and I decided to add a table. In the table, I want certain cells to grab certain data numbers. For example, my table will have two columns and 4 rows. I would like the second column and third row to output the time my function takes to run. I am familiar with the set function for normal callbacks.

For example: set(handles.textBox, 'String', message);

Is there a method similar to this with tables? Any advice is welcome :D

A uitable is just storing the data in a Property named 'Data'. I show two examples, one for a matrix and the other a cell array, for syntax prior to and after the 2014b release.

f1 = figure;
myCellTable = uitable(f1,'Data',cell(4,2));
myCellTable.Data{3,2} = 10; % This could be a call to the toc function for time

f2 = figure;
myMatTable = uitable(f2,'Data',zeros(4,2));
myMatTable.Data{3,2} = 10;

So the basic idea is the uitable is an object and we can index it's property with dot-notation (post 2014b). Prior to 2014b we need to get, modify and set, like oyu show above.

f3 = figure;
myCellTable = uitable(f3,'Data',cell(4,2));
CellData = get(myCellTable,'Data');
CellData{3,2} = 10;
set(myCellTable,'Data',CellData);

f4 = figure;
myMatTable = uitable(f4,'Data',zeros(4,2));
MatData = get(myMatTable,'Data');
MatData(3,2) = 10;
set(myMatTable,'Data',MatData);

Edit: Note that the latter syntax still works post 2014b.

How can I do this with a table in a GUI?

[Brendan Hamm]

The exact same way, but using the handle for the table in the GUI. I'm not sure if your question is trying to ask more than this. If so, please elaborate.

No I think I got it! Thank you, good sir!

Brendan, I have a question. I am working with Artificial Neural Network. I made a table for the inputs and a table for the output. I want the network to take the first row as the input and project the output in the second table (GOR). Take a look at the picture.
