Background
The Modelit User Interface Components Toolbox for Matlab extends the number of available components for
GUI building by using java. This is achieved by defining a new object, the jacontrol, which is similar to the Matlab
uicontrol and which acts as an interface between Matlab and Java, effectively hiding the Java implementation
from the user. As a result common Matlab users can use these new components without having any knowledge
of Java.
The Modelit User Interface Components Toolbox for Matlab extends the standard Matlab components with
complex components such as sortable, editable and filterable tables, treetables and trees, editable comboboxes
with autocompletion and webbrowsers. The Modelit User Interface Components Toolbox for Matlab makes use
of the swingx project (http://swinglabs.org) and the glazed lists project (http://publicobject.com/glazedlists).
Overview
The functionality of the User Interface Components Toolbox is accessed through the jacontrol command. This command is designed to operate similar to Matlab's uicontrol command.
Calling convention : [handle]=jacontrol('Style',Value, property, value, property, value,....)
The behavior is controlled by varying the specified style-value. The table below lists the possible style-values and the associated behavior.
