Why can I acess the menu editor from GUIDE to do changes?

Good day. I'm making a app using the GUIDE. That app has menu, and I want my final user can add more menu items.

In a normal program, we use, for example:

f = figure('ToolBar','none');
m = uimenu(f,'Text','Import');
mitem = uimenu(m,'Text','CSV File');

to do a menu and a menu item.

A don't know how to get this variable f which carry the informations about the figure.

If you are only using a single figure, then in GUIDE you could do

f = gcf;

because GUIDE apps are figures.

If you are using multiple figures within GUIDE, then you need to be a careful, because GUIDE always constructs the handles structure that it passes around with respect to the figure that the callback is attached to. There is no real way in GUIDE to ask about the "master" figure. However, once you are passed the OpenFcn callback of the original figure, then if you call the main GUI by name with no arguments then the return value will be the handle of that figure.

Boy, you save!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!

The program work this way:

f

unction k_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
% This function has no output args, see OutputFcn.
% hObject    handle to figure
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% varargin   command line arguments to kkkkkkkk (see VARARGIN)
->>>>>>>>>>>>>> Here: mitem = uimenu(gcf, 'tag', 'h', 'Label', 'oi' );
% Choose default command line output for kkkkkkkk
handles.output = hObject;

% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles);

But, there is a problem, I want to make a menu item. How can i get that object 'm' ?

[Walter Roberson]

If you need to get to the menu item later, then you could

handles.mitem = mitem;

and then later refer to handles.mitem .

Or instead, later you could

mitem = findobj(handles.output, 'tag', 'h');
