Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), MATLAB Version 7.8 (R2009a)

New features and changes introduced in this version are:

• New Programmatic GUI Doc Example

• GUIDE Help Menu Enhanced

New Programmatic GUI Doc Example

A new example in the documentation teaches you how to code a GUI that manages multiple lists, such as to-do and shopping lists, contact information, music or video catalogs, or any set of itemizations. Among other things, it illustrates how to write M-code to:

• Share callbacks among uicontrols.

• Obtain component handles from their tags.

• Create a new version of an existing GUI.

• Import and export list data.

• Edit, add, delete, and reorder list items.

• Save a list in the GUI itself.

• Concurrently run multiple GUIs containing different data from the same M-file.

This example does not use GUIDE. To read about and run it, see A GUI That Manages List Data in the documentation for Creating Graphical User Interfaces.

GUIDE Help Menu Enhanced

The Help menu in GUIDE now links to more topics in the documentation than previously. It also links to a set of video tutorials on the MATLAB Central Web site. For details, see Getting Help in GUIDE in the Opening GUIDE section of the Creating Graphical User Interfaces documentation.
