Hi everybody. I am writing a GUI in which 32 toggle buttons function as status indicators. I have chosen to use toggle buttons because of their clear appearance. However, creating 32 buttons in essentially the same manner is very tedious and cluttered. Is there more efficient a way I could do this?
Here is all the relevant information about my program. I am defining everything in a handle class:
classdef x_GUI < handle
properties
bit1
bit2
...
These properties are then initialized in a function:
Now creating the elements in this function the tedious way works fine. For example,
app.bit1 = uicontrol('Style','togglebutton',...
This correctly displays the elements in the GUI, allows me to reference them later (i.e. get(app.bit1,'Value')) and outputs "x_GUI with properties bit1: [1x1 UIControl] ..."
when the script is executed to let me know that the property in the class has been altered. But I have to do this 32 times.
So when I tried to write a loop to save time and code, the element displayed properly, but in "x_GUI with properties bit1: [ ]..."
meaning that the property in the class was not edited. I tried using a for loop with
and creating an array
bit_handles = {app.bit1 ...
Both created the elements properly, but neither actually referenced the property in the class meaning bit1: [ ] still. Essentially, my problem is actually creating handles for the elements that are based off of the properties in the class.
Does anyone know a way I could effectively reference class properties in a for loop? Thank you very much for your time!
