uitabpanel

A complete implementation of TabPanel for MATLAB

Description

This is a complete implementation of TabPanel for MATLAB, which offers a consistent look and feel to the builtin MATLAB UI objects.

Two types of tabpanels are implemented. The first type is the usual tabpanel with tabs positioned on left/center/right top/bottom in relation to the visible panel. The second one is the so-called "popup" panels. This type of "tabpanels" is common in Windows and Java but has not been seen its use in MATLAB. I found that it is rather convenient in many occasions.

See the screenshot and "uitabdemo.m" to get started.

Outstanding work has been done here. Running the demo and exploring the scripts is enough to judge about the quality of this effort. I am really looking forward to see UITABPANEL implemented as a Matlab class like other objects. Anyway, thank you already!

Wonderful work! However I find it troublesome working with more that one figures.

[Liu Changkun]

Excellent! Very GOOD!

[paolo castiglione]

very good job! I hope newer versions of matlab will implement a tab function.

[Franklin Quilumba]

It is so great...

[Bharathiraja UN]

It is working well.
I wish to suggest to modify line320-321 as follows to avoid some issues faced in resizing.
TopBottomTabResizeCbk(htab,[]);
set(htab,'ResizeFcn',@TopBottomTabResizeCbk);

[Bharathiraja UN]

I am withdrawing my last comment on code modification. Instead, it is better done as follows,
htab = uitabpanel(...
     '...'
    'CreateFcn',@CreateTab,...
    'ResizeFcn',@ResizeTab)
where as ResizeTab is the custom made resize function. Thanks.

good looking GUI

If you find errors when trying to add uitabpanel inside another uitabpanel. You might want to replace the following codes:
           
           cmenu = uicontextmenu;
            uimenu(cmenu,'Label','Goto Tab');
            uimenu(cmenu,'Separator','on');

to...

findfigure=0;
testparent=parent;
while ~findfigure
    
        try
            cmenu = uicontextmenu('Parent',testparent);
            uimenu(cmenu,'Label','Goto Tab');
            uimenu(cmenu,'Separator','on');
            findfigure=1;
        catch
            testparent=get(testparent,'parent');
        end
    
end

cheers,
