Hi Ron,
here is something I recently used in an App Designer GUI:
The App needs a property 'config' and the following method to store the UI-state in the 'config' property:
function storeUIpropConfig(app, source, property, value)
k = cellfun(@(x)isequal(app.(x),source),p);
warning('Could not store UIproperty in app config. Callback source not found in app properties!');
app.config.UIproperties.(p{k}).(property) = value;
Let's assume the figure handle is stored in the app property 'UIFigure'. Then you can find all checkboxes and edifields with
h = findobj(app.UIFigure,'Type','uieditfield','-or',...
'Type','uinumericeditfield','-or',...
and use the method above to store the 'Value' property of the ui objects in the config property:
app.storeUIpropConfig(h(k),'Value',h(k).Value);
You can also use the ValueChangedFcn callback of the ui-objects to call that method each time the 'Value' changes.
Then save the config to disk:
cfg = app.config.UIproperties;
save('config.mat','-struct','cfg');
To load the config use:
app.config.UIproperties = load('config.mat');
and then run the following method to set the state of the UI objects:
function restoreUIpropConfig(app)
obj = fieldnames(app.config.UIproperties);
props = fieldnames(app.config.UIproperties.(o));
app.(o).(p) = app.config.UIproperties.(o).(p);
app.config.UIproperties.(o) = rmfield(app.config.UIproperties.(o),p);
warning('Failed to restore property value for %s.%s because:\n%s',o,p,ME.message);
Let me know if you need more help.
Best, Konrad
