Is there a generic modal dialog for appdesigner that can be customized?

I like the modal uialert and uiconfirm dialogs in appdesigner.

Is there a way to make custom dialogs that behave like those (that is, stick within the bounds of the UIFigure and darken it)

I would like to make dialogs like that but be able to add custom buttons, check boxes, pulldown menus, etc to them

Were you ever able to figure this out? I have the same exact question.

Hi Duijnhouwer,

From your query I understand that you need a way in MATLAB to create a customizable dialog box. Please refer to the below link which explains the functions and examples to create a customizable dialog box:

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your answer but dialog creates a regular dialog.

I'm looking for the equivalent for use in the new appdesigner style.

For example, the existing command "uialert"

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uialert.html

Creates a uialert dialog as a child of a uifigure, and is contained within the boundaries of that uifigure and disables all interaction with the children (for example buttons) of the parent uifigure until the dialog has been dealt with.

Besides uialert, there are uiconfirm, and a uiprogressdlg which look nice.

What i'm hoping for is a more generic "uidialog" function that can have any custom UI elements. For example to prompt the user to enter some numbers, or pick an item from a list, etc.

Cheers,

Jacob
