How to load a struct to an uitree in AppDesigner?

Hello,

I have an uitree in my AppDesigner GUI.

Is there a fast & convenient way to load a struct into my Tree.

My struct can vary in it's layers ("depth"). It can be:

S.L1.L2 or S.L1.L2.L3. etc...

I've found the following function on FileExchange:

struct2tree (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/42487-struct2tree).

But after I ran the code:

[m_tree , m_container] = struct2tree(my_struct);

I don't know how to "convert" (or maybe "display" is the more appropriate term) the data stored in m_tree and/or m_container to my uitree in the GUI itself.

I really hope struct2tree could help me. Since I don't know in advance the "depth" of my struct, I don't want start writing any recursive functions "extracting" all the layers from my struct and "building" uitree.

Thanks!!!

Hi Mark,

I have downloaded the struct2tree from the file exchange link you provided and tried creating the UITree.

Here are the steps I followed.

1. Download the struct2Tree from file exchange.
2. Extract the Zip to the same folder.
3. Created a new mlapp in the extracted folder (struct2tree).
4. Added a button to the 'Design View'

function ButtonPushed(app, event)
    S = struct('Field1', 'Value1', 'Field2', struct('SubField1', 'SubValue1'));
    h = gcf;
    struct2tree(S);
end

5. Added a callback function to the button.

6. The UITree created and looks like below screenshot.

I hope it helps!
