Question

I’m creating a matlab GUI using GUIDE. I can’t get the context menus to show. This might have to do with a bug in the visible property of the context menus (which is always ‘off’)

here’s an old thread describing same problem without much a solution:

Any workarounds or a fix would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Answer 1

workaround:
request the context menu handle on the list box’s callback:

function lstGates_Callback(hObject, ~, ~)

    % -ignore- matlab right click menu not showing bug workaround
    ctm = get(hObject, 'UIContextMenu'); 

    ...
    ...
end
