TooltipString won't show if uicontrol Enable is not 'on'

5 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hey MATLAB users,
I have a Edit style uicontrol label, which has set 'enable' to 'intactive' to make it not editable.
But now, I also want to add a tooltipString for this ui label, but since it's set to inactive, nothing will show.
I really dont want to use 'text' since there is no outline for the label box.
Is there anyway I could add TooltipString for this case.
there is one ticket about it, but didn't solve my question really well: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/81029-tooltipstring-not-displaying-when-button-is-disabled

At the time you create the uipanel you can give char units and Position to it, and then create the uicontrol with units normalized and size [0 0 1 1]. After that set() the uicontrol to units char if you need to.

This one works !
So far, i guess this is the " best" choice I could have if I want to set to 'interactive' but still want to keep the tooltip.
Hope MATLAB could extend this uicontrol with more option for users.

Here you can get the object, set editable property of the Java object as false like below and then add a tooltip.
hEditbox = uicontrol('String','Edit Text','Style','edit');
drawnow;
jEditbox = findjobj(hEditbox); % gets the java object handle
set(jEditbox,'Editable',false); % this will disable your editbox
set(jEditbox,'ToolTipText','Text is inactive for a reason'); % this will create a tooltip string

I seem to recall that there are some race conditions where a java object might not be allocated until the graphics object is rendered -- the drawnow() that Luna shows.

thanks for the information
I am not very willing to use drawnow and findjobj, since it will slow down the speed a lot if we generating a bunch of ui button
