UITable HTML not being read

I'm trying to add html text to a cell from a UITable created in the Appdesigner, however it doesnt seem to be working. The Appdesigner just copies the HTML code as text.

if true
  TableMatrix(app.letteri(j)-64,app.columni(j))={strcat('<html><table border=0 width=400 bgcolor=#FF0000<TD>',num2str(1),'</TD></TR> </table></html>')};
end

Does anyone have any idea why it is not working?

Thanks in advance :)

This functionality is not supported by uifigure and uitable in App Designer. Customization of individual cells of a uitable in App Designer is being considered for a future release of MATLAB.

awww good to know. Can't wait for the new release :D

Using Matlab 2019a and I'm still unable to use this feature in uitable. If it's not working, then how can we change the text color of a row of uitable? I want each row to have different text color depending on the value of a decision variable.

The MATLAB R2020a release does have customizations using the "StyleConfirgurations" property of the "uitable". Please refer to:

It has been 4 years since this comment and app designer still can't read HTML

This post specifically says app designer. This does not work for app designer. people reading this should know that.

[Walter Roberson]

Style Configurations can only be added to uitable that are inside uifigure, which is the kind of figure used by app designer. Follow the StyleConfigurations link I posted and look a few lines higher and notice that the section heading says the property is for uifigure only.
