Can't format uitreenode text
Submitted pull request #5 allows formatting controls whose parent is not the uifigure, however, the following fails:
f = uifigure('Position', [680 558 560 420]); t = uitree(f,'Position',[20 20 520 380]); tn = uitreenode(t,'Text','Test me'); mlapptools.fontWeight(tn, 'bold');
with the following error:
Error using mlapptools/getWidgetID (line 363) widgetID query timed out after 5 seconds, UI needs more time to load Error in mlapptools.getWebElements (line 108) widgetID = mlapptools.getWidgetID(win, mlapptools.getDataTag(uiElement)); Error in mlapptools.fontWeight (line 65) [win, widgetID] = mlapptools.getWebElements(uiElement); Error in Untitled4 (line 6) mlapptools.fontWeight(tn, 'bold');
(Note that increasing timeout doesn't help)
Will have to do some deeper investigation, I cannot reproduce this on my machine.
Matlab 2017b -- should have mentioned that. Have not tried it on other versions.
Ok, I can reproduce this. Let's see now....
For now I found a totally unrelated bug in decodeDijitRegistryResult :)
Good news - I found a way to format uitree and uitreenode objects!
It seems that uitree objects use some different system internally (possibly ReactJS), so their children don't have a widgetid field we can refer to in order to edit the style. However, they do have some other identifiers such as data-test-id and data-reactid, which we could use.
I had to rethink how we uniquely identify (and pass around) UI objects. This resulted in some refactoring an overall more robust code.
@davidn-IA Until the latest PR is merged, you can head over to my fork and give the new code a try!
It's an improvement but unfortunately fails on subnodes, per this example:
f = uifigure('Position', [680 558 560 420]); t = uitree(f,'Position',[20 20 520 380]); tn = uitreenode(t,'Text','Test me'); tn2 = uitreenode(tn,'Text','Test me'); mlapptools.fontWeight(tn, 'bold'); % <-- this is OK mlapptools.fontWeight(tn2, 'bold'); % <--- but fails here
Changed this from 'bug' to 'enhancement' because formatting trees seems to require a completely different approach than other widgets.
At the moment, only top-level tree nodes can be modified permanently, whereas sub-nodes must be visible (i.e. parent is expanded) to apply changes, and changed don't persist if the parent node is collapsed.
function Issue6
f = uifigure('Position', [680 558 560 420]);
t = uitree(f,'Position',[20 20 520 380]);
tn = uitreenode(t,'Text','Lorem');
tn2 = uitreenode(tn,'Text','Ipsum');
tn3 = uitreenode(tn2,'Text','Dolor');
mlapptools.fontWeight(tn3, 'bold');
end
@sco1 I wouldn't close it just yet seeing how the existing solution is not really ideal...
