how can I store the values ​​that the user enters in an uieditfield?

i built an array's uieditfield by the app designer code view?. In thi way:

g= app.GridLayout;

% fill array

lbl1 = uilabel(g);

lbl1.Text = 'array 1 '; lbl1.FontSize = 16;

lbl1.Layout.Row = 2;

lbl1.Layout.Column = 1;

for i=1:3

ef = uieditfield(g,'numeric');

ef.Layout.Row = 2;

ef.Layout.Column = i+1;

ef.FontSize = 14;

end

how can i store in a variable the values ​​that the user inserts in an uieditfield??

Hello,

You can set your ef to be the property of the app.

% This is in properties block
properties(access = private)
    ef = gobjects()
end       

Reference the property by adding the indexing into app

for i=1:3 
    app.ef(i) = uieditfield(g,'numeric');
    app.ef(i).Layout.Row = 2;
    app.ef(i).Layout.Column = i+1;
    app.ef(i).FontSize = 14;
end

Access the value for first component with

app.ef(1).Value

when i run the program it gives me this error:

app.ef(i).Layout.Row = 2

Unable to perform assignment because dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

Alright, I see now.

It's a weird interaction between property and a graphic object.

It looks like you have to initialise the ef property as a graphic array, i'll update the code in the answer.

this was precisely the mistake. Thanks so much
