Hi Rupesh,

According to my understanding of your question, you need a drop-down item list for a column of a table.

I will share my approach to your problem:

Consider the table to be

Let's say you require drop-down list for the first column.

In your startupFnc, you can set the item property of drop-down equal to the column of the table.

Here is the code for same

function startupFcn(app)
    T = table({'A'; 'B'; 'C'}, {'X'; 'Y'; 'Z'});
    % Drop down items are set to column 1 of table T.
    app.DropDown.Items = T{:, 1};
end

Does not recognise the property name drop-down.

Hi Rupesh,

I am assumed that you needed a drop-down list for a table column.

1. Drag the drop-down list from the component library(on the left) and drop it in the design view.
2. In the component browser (on the right) you could see the name of the drop-down component.

In the answer the component name of the drop-down list was app.DropDown. You have to use items property of the component and set it to the table column.
