uicontrol selected properties in R2015

Hi everybody,

I want that an edit box will be selected automatically once it is created. In the releases early than R2014 it is supposed to be possible. I'm using R2015, so I can't use this property. Is there any possibility to automatically select an uicontrol?

Regards, Christian

Christian - do you mean that you want to set focus to a specific edit text control? Please see uicontrol and in particular

 uicontrol(c)

where c is the handle to a control.

Hi Geoff,

I'm well aware of the uicontrol and its properties. In earlier releases of MATLAB there was the 'selected' property, to actively select a specific uicontrol. This possibility was removed in later versions. As I'm using MATLAB 2015 this won't work anymore. The question is, is there a workaround?

Christian - are you saying that you cannot use uincontrol(c) to set focus to a particular control (as per the documentation)? I have been able to do (using R2014a). What happens when you try the above? Or are you trying to do something different than setting focus?
