Hello,

is there a possibility to hide (disable) a jlabel which is created like this:

global output
global jLabel
global hcomponent
global hcontainer
output = '<html><p>test</p></html>';
jLabel = javaObjectEDT('javax.swing.JLabel',output);
[hcomponent,hcontainer] = javacomponent(jLabel,[10,10,610,420],gcf);

i already tried

jLabel.list but i cannot find anything.

I have several menuitems where i have to switch the text inside the label.
I need rich-text functions so i have to use something like jlabel right?

Does anyone can paste code for jtextea ?

1. Use the UIInspect utility to understand which methods and properties are available on your object: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/17935-uiinspect-display-methodspropertiescallbacks-of-an-object . In your specific case, there are separate properties (and accessor methods) for hiding/showing and for enabling/disabling.

Thank you for your answer. thank you for this very interesting tool

Im still stuck here:

I created an object like this:
introtext=uicomponent('style','JLabel','Text',output,'Position'
[10,10,610,420],'Tag','introtext');

at a later point i want to delete or "unvisible" it, how do i manage to delet this object?

set(handles.introtext,'Visible','off') does not work.

set(introtext,'visible','off') works for me. In your case, handles.introtext may be an empty or invalid handle - set a breakpoint and check.

To completely delete the label, simply do delete(introtext), just like for any other Matlab control. As before, you need a valid handle or else it will not work.
