I created the following uitable:
actually every single row is an indpendent uitable, so the figure shown contains 5 uitables besides the header. Why I'm doing that was the issue of my last question, resulting in the shown table. Fully executable code you can find in the answer here (or a minimal example below). Solutions using a general GUI are also there, but it would blow up the code too much, and actually it just seems to be a kind of bug.
It can be seen that everytime I jump to the next row, therefore to another uitable, the last selection remains highlighted, which looks stupid, though it doesn't matter for the functionality.
There is the 'SelectionHighlight' property for uitables, sounds like a solution, but it is not changing anything. I used it as following:
set(src,'SelectionHighlight','off') %where src is the handle of the current uitable
at various places: at the end of a 'CellSelectionCallback', at the end of a 'CellEditCallback' and as global property. But everytime the last cell remains selected. Actually I don't need selection at all.
How can I disable the whole selection or selection highlighting property for all my uitables?
How do I have to use this property, that it has an effect?
Alternatively: how can I change the "highlighting" color (and therefore text-color) so the highlighting is just not visible anymore?
Apparently this issue appears also in other contexts.
I created a minimum executable example, where one can select a number between 1 and 3 in every row.
function minimalTable
%basic properties
line_height = 21.32;
table_height = 3*line_height;
lh = line_height/table_height;
h = figure('Position',[200 100 202 table_height],'numbertitle','off','MenuBar','none');
% addrow(figurehandle,number of row, percentage lineheight)
% every function call creates a new row, later dynamically
addRow(h,1,lh);
addRow(h,2,lh);
addRow(h,3,lh);
end
function modifySelection(src,~)
set(src,'SelectionHighlight','off')
waitfor(src)
end
function [th] = addRow(fh,k,lhp)
selector = { '1'; '2' ; '3' };
defaultData = {'select number...'};
columnformat = { {selector{:}} };
columneditable = true;
th = uitable(fh,'Units','normalized','Position',[0 1-k*lhp 1 lhp],...
'Data', defaultData,...
'ColumnName', [],...
'ColumnWidth', {200},...
'ColumnEditable', columneditable,...
'ColumnFormat', columnformat,...
'RowName',[],...
'SelectionHighlight','off',...
'CellEditCallback',@modifySelection);
end
results in:
