Got the following error: table data is not editable at this location

Hi all,

I have a uitable. When I run the code and try and set a value to the table I get the error above and when I look at the evendata structure values I see:

1. Indices is correct
2. Prev' Data is [] which is correct
3. Edit Data holds the new data I chose (is correct)
4. New Data is [] -> WHY?? why isn't it equal to Edit Data?
5. Error = "table data is not editable at this location"

What am I missing? I have cells as editable.

Here is the uitable code (I shorted it a bit for the unnecessary parts)

ColumnFormat = {{' ' 'STA1' 'STA2' 'STA3' 'STA4'},...
                {' ' 'Voice' 'Video' 'Best Effort' 'Background'},...
                 'numeric',...
                 'numeric',...
                 'numeric',...
                 'numeric',...
                 'numeric',...
                {' ' 'Poason' 'Syncronious'},...
                {' ' 'TCP' 'UDP' 'G711'},...
                {' ' 'None' 'WEP' 'TKIP'},...
                 'numeric'};
ColumnEditable = [true true true true true true true true true true false];

handles.STADataTable(STANumber) = uitable(...
                    'Parent',handles.STAPanel(STANumber),...
                    'units','pixels',...
                    'ColumnWidth','auto',...
                    'ColumnFormat',ColumnFormat,...
                    'ColumnEditable',ColumnEditable,...
                    'CellEditCallback',{@STADataTable_Callback,handles},...
                    'Position',[48 5 1039 19*3+2]);

Were you trying to edit column 11 ? You have it marked false for editable.

No - Column 11 is not editable.

I tried several other cells...

Additional to the above that I have noticed:

After I built the table, I checked its 'Data' and its = [ ].

Is it possible that I need to set the data to be as the size of the table (i.e. 1x11)? (and make them as ' ' and not [ ])?

I set up a table in GUIDE mode and the table cell values were ' '...

[Nimrodb]

OK, it seems to be the problem but I do not know what is the right and best solution. here is the code I added after making the table that solves the problem:

TableColumnSize = size(get(handles.STADataTable(STANumber),'ColumnName'));
TempRow = cellfun(@(x) '',cell(1,TableColumnSize(1)),'uniformoutput',false);
set(handles.STADataTable(STANumber),'Data',TempRow);

Now when I enter a value to the table - I do not get an error.

I kinda understand the problem but what is the BEST way to write this? (Don't think my solution is best, no?)

[Walter Roberson]

repmat({''}, 1, TableColumnSize(1))

would be one way. Or

TempRow = cell(1,TableColumnSize(1)); TempRow(:) = {''};

[Nimrodb]

1st - Thanks.

2nd - But is this needed when I make a uitable?

Do I need to define the data cells before I let the user set value to it?

[Walter Roberson]

Yes.
