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 unfortunately I don’t have that toolbox.

I have a hunch I’m going to have to use some Java or some other language for this one, which I know nothing about.

I’m looking for something similar to this:

_{(source: welie.com)}

which would return a date string after the user selects the date.

I don’t have much time for a more complete answer, unfortunately, but I’d try uitable to create a table and to define the CellSelectionCallback to get the date.

Here’s a bit to get you started:

dates = calendar;
dates(~any(dates,2),:) = [];
fh = figure;
uh = uitable('parent',fh,'data',dates,'ColumnWidth',repmat({20},1,7),...
             'ColumnName',{'S','M','T','W','T','F','S'});
