I am creating a typing test on the MatLab AppDesigner. I have simplified it down to a core problem. I have placed an EditField on the screen and have created this code for the function EditFieldValueChanging(app,event):
currentText = event.Value;
if contains(currentText,’test’)
app.EditField.Value = ‘ ‘;
disp(‘good job’)
end
I have two issues: firstly, I cannot set the app.EditField.Value to nothing (i.e. ”). I tried this with a TextArea and it did work however, so I have found a workaround. Secondly and the main issue, is that once it clears the text, it only works once. If I type ‘hello’ again into the text box, it displays ‘good job’ but does not clear the text the second time around. I really appreciate any help.I am creating a typing test on the MatLab AppDesigner. I have simplified it down to a core problem.
