Hi,

I would like to know how I can set several cells of a uitable like a readonly effect.

Thanks

Would you like them to be not editable? Did you already try the "ColumnEditable" property?

Hi Sarah,

Yes,you're right.

No, I have got a old version of matlab. I think that in this version the similar property is "Editable", but I'm not sure.

Hi,

I have tested with this example but I can't set the column that I want.

E.g: hT=uitable(...); %To set the 1st col as a noneditable. set(hT,'Editable',[false true true]);

The issue is that one error appears saying that the parameter value must be scalar...

How can I resolve it?

thanks

Unfortunately I see the general problem but I don't have R2007b, don't see how I can help you.

* You may try to update your current version, if feasible

* Use this submission http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/11201

* This thread may be useful: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/165066

* And finally this migration note for uitable from 2007b to 2008a: http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/uitools_csh/error_pages/uitable_errorpage.html

Here an example that allows you to set as non editable just some cells of a column:

function exampleGUI
f = figure('Position',[200 200 400 150]);
dat = rand(3); 
cnames = {'X-Data','Y-Data','Z-Data'};
rnames = {'First','Second','Third'};
t = uitable('Parent',f,'Data',dat,'ColumnName',cnames,... 
            'RowName',rnames,'Position',[20 20 360 100],...
            'ColumnEditable',[true true true],'CellEditCallback',@t_ced);

          function t_ced(varargin)
              % Retrieve info on edited cell
              edC = varargin{2};
              % Transform subscipts of selected cell into idx
              idx = sub2ind(size(dat),edC.Indices(1),edC.Indices(2));
              % If idx falls into 5-9 range set back previous value
              if ismember(idx, 5:9)
                  data = get(t,'data');
                  data(idx) = edC.PreviousData;
                  set(t,'data',data)
              end
          end
  end

Save it as exampleGUI and run it. Only cells 5-9 are non editable.

Change ColumnEditable to Editable if that's the case for your version.

I have got r2007b version of matlab.
