Using Ui Table With App Designer

You can use the table component.

My example is based on the following example, which displays MATLAB table in a uitable (user interface table component).

You can start by adding a table to the application main figure in App Designer design view.
You can also add the update button in design view.

Add a private property to the app class for storing the table data (I named it T):

              properties (Access = private)     T % Table end

You may initialize table T in the startupFcn like in the following example:

              % Code that executes after component creation function startupFcn(app)     LastName = {'Smith'; 'Johnson'; 'Williams'; 'Jones'; 'Brown'};     Age = [38; 43; 38; 40; 49];     Height = [71; 69; 64; 67; 64];     Weight = [176; 163; 131; 133; 119];     app.T = table(Age, Height, Weight, 'RowNames', LastName); end

In the button pushed callback, you can update the table like in the following example:

              % Button pushed function: UpdateButton function UpdateButtonPushed(app, event)     app.UITable.Data = app.T{:,:};     app.UITable.ColumnName = app.T.Properties.VariableNames;     app.UITable.RowName = app.T.Properties.RowNames; end

Here is how the user interface looks like (after pressing update button):

Here is the complete code (include automatically generated code):

          classdef app1 < matlab.apps.AppBase      % Properties that correspond to app components     properties (Access = public)         UIFigure      matlab.ui.Figure         UITable       matlab.ui.control.Table         UpdateButton  matlab.ui.control.Button     end       properties (Access = public)         children = app1.empty % Description     end      properties (Access = private)         T % Table     end       % Callbacks that handle component events     methods (Access = private)          % Code that executes after component creation         function startupFcn(app)             LastName = {'Smith'; 'Johnson'; 'Williams'; 'Jones'; 'Brown'};             Age = [38; 43; 38; 40; 49];             Height = [71; 69; 64; 67; 64];             Weight = [176; 163; 131; 133; 119];             app.T = table(Age, Height, Weight, 'RowNames', LastName);         end          % Button pushed function: UpdateButton         function UpdateButtonPushed(app, event)             app.UITable.Data = app.T{:,:};             app.UITable.ColumnName = app.T.Properties.VariableNames;             app.UITable.RowName = app.T.Properties.RowNames;         end     end      % Component initialization     methods (Access = private)          % Create UIFigure and components         function createComponents(app)              % Create UIFigure and hide until all components are created             app.UIFigure = uifigure('Visible', 'off');             app.UIFigure.Position = [100 100 322 233];             app.UIFigure.Name = 'UI Figure';              % Create UITable             app.UITable = uitable(app.UIFigure);             app.UITable.ColumnName = {'Column 1'; 'Column 2'; 'Column 3'; 'Column 4'};             app.UITable.RowName = {};             app.UITable.Position = [36 57 251 163];              % Create UpdateButton             app.UpdateButton = uibutton(app.UIFigure, 'push');             app.UpdateButton.ButtonPushedFcn = createCallbackFcn(app, @UpdateButtonPushed, true);             app.UpdateButton.Position = [36 14 100 22];             app.UpdateButton.Text = 'Update';              % Show the figure after all components are created             app.UIFigure.Visible = 'on';         end     end      % App creation and deletion     methods (Access = public)          % Construct app         function app = app1              % Create UIFigure and components             createComponents(app)              % Register the app with App Designer             registerApp(app, app.UIFigure)              % Execute the startup function             runStartupFcn(app, @startupFcn)              if nargout == 0                 clear app             end         end          % Code that executes before app deletion         function delete(app)              % Delete UIFigure when app is deleted             delete(app.UIFigure)         end     end end

You can copy an paste the code to app1.m file, just to see how it works (without using App Designer).
