Creating Buttons Tabs and Panels from Input Number

Here is an example of my Code that keeps returning the error " 'Parent' must be a parent component, such as a uifigure object. This is all done in Designer.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

X= 3

app.UIFigure = uifigure;

app.TabGroup = uitabgroup(app.UIFigure)

for i=1:X

app.Tab(i) = uitab(app.TabGroup)

app.Panel(i) = uipanel(app.Tab(i))

app.Button(i) = uibutton(app.Panel(i))

end

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Once it gets to app.Button the error occurs. Lets say X = 3, I do get 3 Tabs and 3 Panels (1 in each Tab) but it is unable to create the 1 Button in each Panel.

Thanks

Hi,

You can do it this way.

1. Create a private property allComps, use it as a structure to hold arrays for tabs, panels and buttons
2. Create an EditField for the input number

Use the below code for creating tabs,panels and buttons.

app.allComps.tabG = uitabgroup(app.UIFigure);  
for i = 1:app.EditField.Value
    app.allComps.tabs(i) = uitab(app.allComps.tabG,'Title', "tab"+i);
    app.allComps.panels(i) = uipanel(app.allComps.tabs(i));
    app.allComps.buttons(i) = uibutton(app.allComps.panels(i),'Text',"button"+i);
end

Hope this helps!

This does not work... This is what I am trying to do currently. I am trying to put buttons onto multiple tabs:
