Hi,
I have edittext and pushbutton.
If I write any letter from alphabet {a,A,b,B,c,C.....y,Y,z,Z}, then I want to enable pushbutton.
If I write any other symbols for example {" ? * & # !}, then I want to disable pushbutton.
Please, how Can I do this? . It is any different between alphabet a,b,c,d and symbols?.
Thank you

Try this GUI
function myGUI
% Create figure
S.fh = figure('units','pixels',...
'position',[500 500 200 100],...
'menubar','none',...
'name','myGUI',...
'numbertitle','off',...
'resize','off');
% Create java edit text box
% I avoid he MATLAB uicontrol because the KeyPressFunction has a bug which
% doesn't update in real time the string
S.ed = javax.swing.JTextField();
S.ed.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.JTextField.CENTER)
javacomponent(S.ed, [10 60 180 35]);
% Create push button
S.pb = uicontrol('style','push',...
'units','pix',...
'position',[10 10 180 40],...
'fontsize',14,...
'string','Do smt');
% Add check of the string in the edit text box
set(S.ed, 'KeyReleasedCallback', @ed_krc);
function ed_krc(varargin)
% If the string contains symbols
if any(regexp(char(S.ed.getText),'\W+'))
% Disable push button
set(S.pb,'Enable','off')
else
% Otherwise enable it
set(S.pb,'Enable','on')
end
end
end

Example with subfunctions:
function mainGUI
end
function callback
end
Example with nested functions
function mainGUI
function callback
end
end

Hi, can I define typ of the number? if permissible numbers are: 4,3 or 3*10^3 or 4.3*10^(-4) or 3.5e2 or 4.6e(-2).
.
.
all others are not permissible.
.
.
if any(regexp(char(get(handles.edit7,'String')),'[^0-9.*^()-]'))
set(handles.edit,'String','Error');
else
set(handles.edit, 'String','OK');
end;
