Question

Hello everyone,

I would like to first say thank you for any help provided :)

I have two EditFields in my GUI (the app designer) and i would like to multiply what the user inputs to create a while loop:

TTime = app.TotalTimeEditField; %Time the user chooses

FPSec = app.FPSEditField; %Amount of frames the user would like

app.frames = TTime * FPSec; %Calculating Frames per Second

while 1:lenght(app.frames) %While 1:the amount of frames already calculated based on what the user has inputted

...

I am not sure why it does not let me multiply, how can I correct this? I get this error on my "Calculating Frames per Second" line:

Undefined function 'mtimes' for input arguments of type 'matlab.ui.control.EditField'.

I needed to access the values stored on the fields:

TTime = app.TotalTimeEditField.Value; %Time the user chooses

FPSec = app.FPSEditField.Value; %Amount of frames the user would like

app.frames = TTime .* FPSec; %Calculating Frames per Second

I hope this helps anyone else!
