    <p>I am currently working on my matlab final project for school. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable and proficient when it comes to programming.. but Matlab simply has TOO many oddities.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><em>The fundamental question</em></strong> <em>(realized this after finding the answer)!</em> How can I use a variable in a call to a gui handle object without the name of the variable being used instead of the value? </p> <p><em>In other words:</em> <strong>Use a variable in a field name</strong> (If I had known it was this simple I wouldn't of asked)</p> </blockquote> <p><em>My project</em> is building a simple rendition of the age old 'Battleship' game.</p> <p><strong>My issue</strong>: I currently 5 objects (axes) for the ship pieces. They are selected one at a time to be moved into another location(the grid). <em>I am able to</em> use the <strong>setpixelposition</strong> to move each object after a <strong>button</strong> click. </p> <p>Right now under the button click, I have something like this</p> <pre><code>function btnPlaceShip_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles) %Store the current selected ship(passed from an onclick to a label) ship = get(handles.lblSelectedShip,'string'); %I have tried everything I could think of, but basically I want to achieve the %following setpixelposition(handles.ship, [0 250 50 250]) %where the variable 'ship' contains the name of the object. </code></pre> <p>In other words, the <em>var</em> <strong>ship</strong> = 'shipAircraftCarrier', and..</p> <pre><code> setpixelposition(handles.shipAircraftCarrier, [0 250 50 250]) </code></pre> <p><strong>works!</strong>(sets the position of the specific ship indicated). Using the variable <strong>ship</strong>, however, matlab takes the string literally and not for its value. It would be extremely convenient to use the variable instead!</p> <p>If anyone have any solutions, I would be grateful. I have scoured the web but perhaps I am missing some fundamental understanding of the Matlab GUI stuff - The matlab help documents are very non-descriptive and are not of much help.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
