I am trying to create the game Battleship in MATLAB r2013. I want to change the color of a push button with a function (without clicking it) in order to understand when the PC hit my panel of ships. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? I have tried with the command set(myOwnBattleship.Apanel.tableA3,'BackgroundColor','k') where the Apanel is the player's panel and tableA3 is the button which I want to change color.

  • Are you sure that's the handle name of your button? Sounds more like a name for a table to me... So, what happens when you execute that line? – jerad Jan 16 '14 at 20:06

Use a tool like findjobj-gui to look at your object hierarchy. I am not sure if it also gives you the matlab handles, but at least you see how things are nested which would enable you to find the right control.
