I'm building a GUI that incorporates a uitable. Each row of the table corresponds to a trace on a plot. Each such trace has associated with it a large amount of data - too much to display in the table.

I want to place at the end of each table row a pushbutton that, when pressed, opens a separate dialog box containing the detailed information associated with the trace. Is it possible to designate a uitable ColumnFormat that would yield such a device?

If this is not feasible, a credible alternative would be to allow the user to double-click on the row so as to activate the trace information dialog. Is this possible?

A third option would be a uicontext menu associated with each row that would be activated by right-clicking in the row. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Perhaps if you used ColumnFormat logical, supplied logical false for the data,
let it create checkbuttons for it, set the ColumnEditable for it, and provide
a CellEditCallback that detected that the value was now true and which one and
opened the appropriate dialog.

There does not appear to be a documented ColumnFormat that supports
pushbuttons. undocumentedmatlab.com talks about JTables and what can be done
at the java level.

Thanks...that is the general direction I was heading; just figured it wouldn't hurt to sweep in the corners for prior art...
