"SWITCH expression must be a scalar or a character vector".

12 views (last 30 days)
Hello. I am trying to use a SWITCH statement that uploads a specific ECG data based on the selected string of a Pop-Up menu. This data should then be visualized in the Axes Box of the GUI. When I start running the GUI, the initial data is uploaded without any problems, but once I choose another string from the Pop-Up menu, it displays the error "SWITCH expression must be a scalar or a character vector." How do I fix this? I have uploaded photos of the Opening Function, plot function, and Pop-Up menu callback functions so you can better visualize the problem.

Try to get 'Value' in the call back function:
handles.patient = get(hObject,'Value');

No, you need to get both the String and the Value, and use the Value to index the String.

Yes, you are right. 'Value' propertiy gives the index to the selected item.
