uitable: setValueAt() ignores HTML code
Show older comments
Hi,
I use HTML to format the text color in cells of a uitable, e.g.
set(table_handle, 'Data',{'<html><font color="red">cell contents'});
If I later try to change the contents of that cell using the setValueAt method of the table's underlying jTable, the HTML formatting isn't changed, i.e. when using
jTable.setValueAt('new cell contents',0,0)
the new cell contents is still formatted red and if I click the cell to start editing it, I see that the HTML code is still there.
Any ideas how to also overwrite the HTML code without having to re-write the whole table using set(table_handle, 'Data',...) ?
(By the way, I know it would be more elegant to use a custom cell renderer...)

Hi Stephan,
I understand you are trying to achieve certain functionality in uitable but using findjobj. Not sure the purpose of using findjobj and the use case where its required to use the setValue function.
Alternatively you can use the matlab uitable directly to achieve the required functionality.
Here is the code -
ut = uitable('Data',{'<html><font color="red">cell contents'})
ut.Data{1,1} = 'cell contents'
Thanks, Vineeta
