So here's my basic setup:
A UIFigure with a UITree, containing multiple UITreeNodes. I want to be able to right click on one of the UITreeNodes, which will do an operation specifically on that node. Let's say I just want to display the text present in the node from which I right clicked.
For example, consider this setup:
ctxMenu = uicontextmenu(figHandle);
menuOpt = uimenu(ctxMenu,'text','printNodeText','Callback',@doSomethingCallback);
baseTree = uitree(figHandle);
node1 = uitreenode(baseTree,'text','node1text','ContextMenu',ctxMenu);
node2 = uitreenode(baseTree,'text','node2text','ContextMenu',ctxMenu);
function doSomethingCallback(src,ev)
When I right click node1 and click printNodeText from there, I want "node1text" displayed. When I right click node2 and click printNodeText from there, I want "node2text" diplayed.
Solutions that I'm pretty sure don't work:
Get the current object - passing figHandle to the callback and then accessing figHandle.CurrentObject will get me just to baseTree, not to node1.
get the current object then selected uitreenode - So close! Except it doesn't work because the node I right clicked isn't necessarily the same as the current seelcted node, given a right click doesn't change the selected node. If I just opened my figure and right clicked on node1,
baseTree = figHandle.CurrentObject;
selectedNodes = baseTree.SelectedNodes;
disp(selectedNodes.Text);
selectedNodes would be empty, meaning that disp() command would fail, rather than displaying "node1text"
Utilizing ContextMenuOpeningFcn - Unfortunately this doesn't seem to have any path to the node I selected, again just to the figure and UITree
Creating individual context menus - not that this doesn't work per say, but it clutters like nobody's business, given how many nodes I have. The top level figure would end up insanely cluttered with all those contextMenus anchored to it. I'd love to avoid this.
