Thread Subject:

findjobj, editbox, border color :)

uD.PctText = uicontrol('Style','Edit',...
                'Units','Normalized',...
                'Position',sPos,...
                'ForegroundColor',[1.0 1.0 0.8],...
                'BackgroundColor',get(figure,'Color'),...
                'FontSize',10,...
                'String','0.0');
            
jPct = findjobj(uD.PctText);

I can see get(jPct.Border) has a pre-defined color:
LineColor = [0.670588 0.678431 0.701961]

I attempt to change it using set(jPct.Border,'LineColor',[0 0 0]). This gives no errors or warnings however when I look back into get(jPct.Border) LineColor remains unchanged, and the border in the GUI around the edit box is still gray.

Sorry if this is basic, I have never used Java before.

Thanks, Works perfect - I'm surprised I wasn't able to find that page when searching your site earlier.

Probably because I only posted it a few hours ago in response to your query...
