How to get a small GUI window figure which is saved before?

Hello !

I have created a GUI with my own code. In my GUI, I have 2 buttons: Add New and Edit.

When clicked on Add New, there is another Mini GUI opens and asks for details of the user going to be added.

After adding a new user, the user appears in the table, I also save them by their names under a struct behind. (struct fieldnames will be unique so no worries)

When clicked on a user in the table, and then click edit, I want to open the same mini GUI with the informations filled with corresponding user infos on uicontrol elements.

I really appreciate your help on this problem. Thanks!!

Note: The codes are attached. runApp.m runs the GUI.

You can edit the addNewUserGUI function to accept pre-filled information. You can use this to set the Value parameter of each dropdown to the appropriate selection value.

So I need to assign one by one according to userInfo struct, and calculate selection value(nth value) from each dropdown's string?

Actually the problem is when I create more complex GUI like this for ex: 8 dropdowns 2 editboxes, 3 radiobuttons etc., one by one assignment takes too much effort to do.

I was searching for a short way, but it seems there is no short method.

If you store your objects under the same name as your input struct field names, you can simply loop over them:

%suppose the objects being stored as handle.miniGUI.Name, handle.miniGUI etc
object_list=fieldnames(userInfoInput);
for n=1:numel(object_list)
    %You could also use ismember to figure out the Value by retrieving the
    %list of element first.
    set(handle.miniGUI.(object_list{n}),'Value',userInfoInput.(object_list{n}))
end

Works like a charm!

I used to loop through the dropdown menu string cell to get location of the element that I am looking for. ismember is my fav function now.

Thanks Rik! :)
