Create a text edit field.

ed = uieditfield('Value','Hello')

Create an interactive test case and verify the initial value.

tc = matlab.uitest.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;
tc.verifyEqual(ed.Value,'Hello')
Verification passed.

Type the word "Goodbye" in the edit field and verify the new value.

value = 'Goodbye';
tc.type(ed,value)
tc.verifyEqual(ed.Value,value)
Verification passed.

Create an editable drop-down list.

dropdown = uidropdown('Editable','on');

Create an interactive test case and add a custom item to the drop-down list.

tc = matlab.uitest.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;
tc.type(dropdown,'Custom Item')

Verify the new value.

tc.verifyEqual(dropdown.Value,'Custom Item')
Verification passed.

Create a table UI component that contains a mixture of different data types. Set the ColumnEditable property to true so that users can edit the data in the table.

fig = uifigure;
uit = uitable(fig);
d = {'Male',52,true;'Male',40,true;'Female',25,false};
uit.Data = d;
uit.ColumnName = {'Gender','Age','Authorized'};
uit.ColumnEditable = true;

Create an interactive test case and verify the initial value of the table cell with indices (1,2).

tc = matlab.uitest.TestCase.forInteractiveUse;
tc.verifyEqual(uit.Data(1,2),{[52]})
Verification passed.

Change the value of the cell to 50 and verify the new value.

tc.type(uit,[1 2],'50')

tc.verifyEqual(uit.Data(1,2),{[50]})
Verification passed.
