Thread Subject: gui

Hello,

I have a gui and I want to open a calender with a pushbutton to choose a
date. For choosing a file there is "uigetdir". Is there something like this
for choosing a date?
I hope you understand what I want.

Thanks for your help.

Using GUIDE you can add the Microsoft Office Calendar Active X control
(assuming you have Office installed?).

Then you can query the day, month and year from this...

The best option would be to have a sub GUI that just contains the
activex calendar, and its output function (ie you close it) returns
the date that the calendar contained when it was closed (you'll see
what I mean when you play with it)

<SNIP looking for a date-picker

one of the solutions is outlined below...
copy/paste the snippet into <uidate.m> and run it at the command prompt...

us

%UIDATE date selection dialog box
% lets the user select a date
% from a calendar
%SYNTAX
% DATE = UIDATE
function sd=uidate
if ~ispc
     disp('only runs on PCs');
     sd='';
     return;
end
     fh=figure;
     fp=get(fh,'position');
     set(fh,...
           'position',[fp(1:2),340,370],...
           'numbertitle','off',...
           'name','pick a date',...
           'menubar','none',...
           'toolbar','none');
     dh=actxcontrol('mscal.Calendar',...
                    [20,20,300,300],fh);
     uh=uicontrol;
     set(uh,...
         'position',[20,330,300,30],...
         'fontname','arial',...
         'fontsize',10,...
         'string','exit and return selected date',...
         'callback',@cb);
     waitfor(uh);
     sd=dh.Value;
     delete(fh);
function cb(h,e)
     delete(h);
