update

Update instance of UI component container subclass after setting properties

Syntax

update(obj)

Description

update(obj)updates the contents of the UI component after one or more public property values change. Define this method to update the underlying graphics objects in the UI component using the new property values. This method executes during the nextdrawnowexecution after the user changes one or more property values on the UI component.

Define a class calledIPAddressComponentthat creates a custom component for inputting four values to form an IP address.

To define the class, create a file calledIPAddressComponent.mthat contains the following class definition with these features:

  • AValuepublic property that stores the IP address.

  • NumericFieldandGridLayoutprivate properties that place four numeric edit fields in a horizontal row.

  • Asetupmethod that initializesNumericFieldandGridLayout

  • Anupdatemethod that updates theNumericFieldvalues when the IP address changes.

  • AhandleNewValuemethod that sets theValueproperty based on the values of the 4 numeric edit fields.

Next, create the component by calling theIPAddressComponentconstructor method, which is provided by theComponentContainerclass, and return the object ash。指定一个函数displays the new IP address in the Command Window when the component value changes.

h = IPAddressComponent; h.ValueChangedFcn = @(o,e) disp(['Value changed to: ', num2str(h.Value)]);

Enter the IP Address192.168.1.10into the edit fields. MATLAB displays the updated IP address in the Command Window.
