Change background color of uitable row name fields

I want to be able to change the background color of the row name field in a uitable in R2019b.

I currently have a check in place that appends 'Insufficient Data!' into the rowname property of my table if there is insufficient data for that row of the table.

To improve on space efficiency, I want to highlight the row name field to show this.

I am currently formatting the background color of the table cells using uistyle, is it possible to use uistyle for changing the background color of the row name fields?

EDIT: For clarity, I am trying to change the background color of the row names (point 1, point 2 etc... instead of appending 'Insufficient Data!' into the row name

In Matlab r2019b and later, use addstyle() to control color of cells in a uitable. The uitable must be within a uifigure (such as in AppDesigner).

thats what I'm going at the moment to color the cells in my table, i want to know if the background color of the row names column can be changed (where it says point 1, point 2 etc...)

I see. Sorry, I missed that detail.

I recall looking into this a year ago (or less) and I couldn't find a method of setting the header or rowname styles. However, you could eliminate the rownames and place them in column 1 of your uitable and they could be stylized there.

Ahh yes that could be a possibility, would make highlighting whole columns/rows in the UI a bit of a pain though as you'd be highlighting the header and row names as well as the data.

I did think it might be a bit of a stretch for the ui objects to be customisable to this level

let me know if there are any updates on this topic. as for 2023a i still didnt find a solution :)

2023B doesnt seem to support this as well. Still hoping. Row Cells highlighed with the rowname not highlighted looks funky.
