function loadGUIstate(GUIstate, h) % Write better documentation here <- % % Input is a structure containing the saved GUI state output by % saveGUIstate along with the handles structure of the target GUI. % This function modifies the GUI handles directly so there is no output % % Assumes the GUI state is being loaded into the same GUI that it was saved % from savedobjlist = fieldnames(GUIstate); for ii = 1:length(savedobjlist) % Verify that our saved handle is part of the passed handles structure, % otherwise ignore it if isfield(h, savedobjlist{ii}) && ~isempty(GUIstate.(savedobjlist{ii})) % set can address properties of multiple objects at the same time, % which is useful for nested structure arrays of handles (e.g. 3 % sliders stored as h.slider(1), h.slider(2), ...) nsubhandles = length(h.(savedobjlist{ii})); % set can also set multiple properties at once, where each row of % the passed cell array is the value to pass for each object % handle. This syntax will not be utilized until a robust method % for generating the cell array is developed. Get something % functional first, then prettify... propstoset = fieldnames(GUIstate.(savedobjlist{ii})); for jj = 1:length(propstoset) if nsubhandles == 1 ValueArray = {GUIstate.(savedobjlist{ii}).(propstoset{jj})}; elseif nsubhandles > 1 ValueArray = GUIstate.(savedobjlist{ii}).(propstoset{jj}); end set(h.(savedobjlist{ii}), propstoset(jj), ValueArray); end end end end
