In AppDesigner, how to input a CSV file using a checkbox?

4 views (last 30 days)
I would like add a checkbox to my App Designer GUI, so that when checked, it opens a file explorer field (similar to a load button) and imports a selected CSV file.
So ulimately, when I hit 'calculate' on my GUI, if the checkbox is selected, use the imported CSV in my calculations, otherwise when not selected, it doesn't use the CSV data. Basically an 'Include a CSV datafile in calcultions' checkbox...
What is the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Do I need to import that CSV data to a variable to store it, then check if the checkbox is selected before calculating?
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you might want to use uigetfile in the checkbox callback function.

Here is my code. Thanks @Cris LaPierre.
% Value changed function: InclCalibrationFileCheckBox
function InclCalibrationFileCheckBoxValueChanged(app, event)
value = app.InclCalibrationFileCheckBox.Value;
if (value == 1) % Checkbox is Checked
% Allow the user to select any CSV file
[file,path] = uigetfile('*.csv');
if isequal(file,0)
% User selected cancel
return;
else
csvData = readmatrix(file);
end
end
%% Placeholder for how to add csvData to the calculation.
end
end
