Hello

I have compiled a GUI to an exe. file to run it on a computer without matlab installed. To run the exe. file on a computer without matlab installed I have to install the Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR). Does it matter where I install the MCR?

Best Regards 

Robin

I don't believe where you install it is an option presented to you.

Thanks Imageanalyst

I just have a problem with my GUI, I run on a computer with only MCR installed. The GUI works until I push a button that runs a function which imports data from an access database. It says "Error while evaluating uicontrol callback". I am quit sure the MCR support the database toolbox? 

Best Regards

Read the documentation for the compiler. There's lots of things in there! For example, it will tell you that you need to add "%#function" pragmas to your code where you define callbacks as strings. The compiler does not evaluate strings to figure out which functions to include in the compiled code. A better solution is to use function handles.

Cheers,
Cris.

Read the first three sections of this documentation page for an explanation 
of this issue and suggestions on how to resolve it:

Thanks Steven and Cris

I have read part of the compiler documentation, but I think I have done much to prevent an error. I have copied some of my code under. The code runs fine on my own computer with matlab, database toolbox and Compiler toolbox installed. When I push the button it only opens the figure(4). I think the problem is the connection to the database.

uicontrol('style','pushbutton',...
    'units','normalized',...
    'position',[0.575 0.5 0.10 0.04],...
    'string','Plot ',...
    'backgroundcolor',col,...
    'callback',@price); %use handle instead of strings!

    function totalprice(varargin)
        fh=figure(4);
        set(fh,'Units','normalized')
        set(fh,'Position',[0 0 1 1])
        choice=get(hlb2,'value');

        conn = database('Database1', '', ''); %name of Database is Database1
        curs = exec(conn, 'select * from Prices'); %Prices=name of table in database
        setdbprefs('DataReturnFormat','cellarray');
        curs = fetch(curs);
        y=curs.Data; 
        test=y(:,[1 4]);


Best Regards 

Robin

The function name should be changed to totalprice=price.

 uicontrol('style','pushbutton',...
     'units','normalized',...
     'position',[0.575 0.5 0.10 0.04],...
     'string','Plot ',...
     'backgroundcolor',col,...
     'callback',@price); %use handle instead of strings!
 
     function price(varargin)
         fh=figure(4);
         set(fh,'Units','normalized')
         set(fh,'Position',[0 0 1 1])
         choice=get(hlb2,'value');
 
         conn = database('Database1', '', ''); %name of Database is Database1
         curs = exec(conn, 'select * from Prices'); %Prices=name of table in database
         setdbprefs('DataReturnFormat','cellarray');
         curs = fetch(curs);
         y=curs.Data; 
         test=y(:,[1 4]);
