How to get indices of selected uitable cell outside cellselection callback

I have a uitable in appdesigner with a struct array containing some elements from the table and some additional elements that I do not display in the table. I want to make changes to any of these elements after a press a button. I am trying to get the index/ data of the selected cell in the table which will help me locate them in the structure and then update the changes. Since there is no getselected function, how to get this index outside the cellselectioncallback without having to add additional column with check box

Hello,

To accomplish this, you can create a property in your app that will store the currently selected indices. Then, add a cellSelectionCallback that updates this property every time a new cell is selected. This would look something like:

% (Add selectedCell property to store indices)
% Cell selection callback: UITable
function UITableCellSelection(app, event)
    app.selectedCell = event.Indices;
end

I'm trying something like this but my callback is not returning any value :( (see attached screenshot)

% Cell selection callback: UITable
        function UITableCellSelection(app, event)
            event.Indices
        end

Actually, add a selection callback for your table and then copy the code below into it:

app.selectedCell = event.Indices;

Of course, don't forget to define selectedCell as a property.
