How do I input multiple values into Edit Field in matlab app designer ?

Hello

im trying to create an app (in matlab app designer) that enables inputting a number which defines a vector length, and afterwards to be able to input every value in the vector in a new numeric field.

The problem is that number of values is defined "online" while the app is running, so i cant define all the numeric fields before the running ... I will be glad to get a solution for that

Thanks

You can put any text into an edit field, whether it be a scalar, a vector, or something else entirely.

app.EditField=mat2str([1,2,3])

app = struct with fields:
    EditField: '[1 2 3]'

Hi @norman zawahri,

app.EditField.Value=mat2str([1,2,3])

As @Matt J showed, you can enter any input values when the app is running and after the user enables the input by a finite scalar value or as a vector.

Thank you for your response, but is it possible to add each one of the values in the vector as a separate numeric field in the main interface, while the number of the numeric fields in the interface isnt known already?

i just want to have a numeric field that i input the amount of the variables (n) in the main interface, and according to that i get n empty numeric fields ... i hope i explained it better :)

You can't use app designer for that You would have to programatically layout the GUI, which will be a lot more painstaking work.

It sees inadvisable, in any case. Rather than creating n different fields, you should cherish Matlab's ability to understand vector input, and take advantage of that capability wherever you can.
