GUI Uitable: set column data to variable

Hey, all, thanks for reading this,

I set up a GUI uitable with some data, and I would like to use that data in another callback function. I was wondering, how do I select data on a column by column basis in other callback functions and assign it locally to variables?

Thanks for your advice

% i am not sur that i have understood

 data=get(handles.uitableName,'Data')
%data is a cell array, then extract any column you want
 c1=data(:,1)   % the first column

Thanks, this is what I ended up doing, worked great.

data=get(handles.uitableName,'Data') If we do this, it extract all the data from table.Is there any way that i can extract selected data (highlighted) only?

Hello,

You need to assign a CellEditCallback function to the table. You can do it both programmatically and from the guide. Once you change something on any editable column, it should go that function. You can get all the data from

get(eventdata,'Data')

You can also get other information via

Indices.Indices

Indices

This would be something like:

mytable_CellEditCallback(eventdata,Indices)

get(eventdata,'Data')
Indices.Indices
Indices

end

Don't forget the assign the function first.

Thanks, I tried this and it worked out pretty well. I ended up keeping

 data=get(handles.uitableName,'Data')
%data is a cell array, then extract any column you want
 c1=data(:,1)   % the first column

because it was a bit simpler. I will keep this in mind, though.
