MATLAB date selection popup calendar for gui

Question

Does anyone know of a method to display a popup date selection calendar in a MATLAB gui? I know the financial toolbox has a uicalendar function, but unfortunate

Answer 1

I'd start with the calendar() function which outputs a matrix containing the calendar for any month. I assume you could combine this with a user-clickable interface to retrieve a specific date?

The following code is really ugly, but could help you get started...

 WINDOW_WIDTH = 300;
 WINDOW_HEIGHT = 200;
f= figure('Position',[300 300 WINDOW_WIDTH WINDOW_HEIGHT]);

 NB_ROWS = 6;
 NB_COLS = 7;
 width = round(WINDOW_WIDTH/NB_COLS);
 height = round(WINDOW_HEIGHT/NB_ROWS);
 buttons = nan(NB_ROWS,NB_COLS);
 dates = calendar();

 for row = 1:NB_ROWS
    for col = 1:NB_COLS
       if dates(row,col) == 0
          mydate = '';
       else
          mydate = sprintf('%i', dates(row,col));
       end
       buttons(row,col) = uicontrol('Style', 'PushButton', ...
          'String', mydate, ...
          'Position', [(col-1)*width (NB_ROWS - row)*height width height]);
    end
 end
