Why do I get the error "Undefined function or variable 'colormapeditor'" when I click on "Launch Colormap Editor" in a stand-alone compiled with MATLAB Compiler 4.9 (R2008b)?

I have a plot that displays a colormap, I can right-click on the colormap and get a few options. When I click on "Launch Colormap Editor", I get the following error:

ERROR: ??? Undefined function or variable 'colormapeditor'.
Error in ==> scribe.colorbar.methods>edit_colormap_cb at 647

??? Error while evaluating uimenu Callback

This used to work in MATLAB R2007b.

In general, MathWorks provided GUIs will not compile. The ability to hide menus that launch GUIs that cannot be compiled is not available in MATLAB.

For more information of the capabilities that can and cannot be compiled, see the following page:
