Is it possible to set a uitable cell as a spinner?

Hi everyone,

I have downloaded in the File Exchange the function to create a normal spinner with arrows: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/26656-uispinner

My question is, is it possible to set a column of uitable cells (in a GUI) as spinner cells?

If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks!

Alberto

Not automatically, no.

It is possible to set a uitable entry to HTML that codes an IMG reference, but it is not easy to make the cells a nice size to contain an IMG reference, and I do not recall whether animated GIF are supported. If they are not, then you would have to keep changing the content of the cell to update the IMG reference.

If you are happy with "ASCII art" then you could keep updating a string entry in a uitable; you could use a timer to do that.
