Thread Subject: Unable to Save, Print or Open from figure

Thanks in advance for your help

I am unable to save, print or open from the figure GUI. From the error messages, it looks like something is going wrong with a pointer to the figure. I don't know what caused the error to start happening, and I'm not really sure how to fix it. I am running Matlab 7.4.0.

Thank you very much

 Here are the exact errors.

Take a look at line 1 of the ismember.m file. Does it look correct -- is it
a normal function declaration line?

Are you using an ismember.m file written by someone else and if so, was it
written with a valid function declaration line? [You can check which copy
of ISMEMBER you're using with "which -all ismember".]

Did you for some reason add the toolbox/matlab/ops/ja directory to the path?
If so, remove that directory from your path.

Did you accidentally edit the ismember.m file and put a line break or
unexpected character on column 3 of line 1 of the file?

Was this ever resolved?
I have a different issue, I am using the Builder for Java.
I can build a m-file and it produces a jar file and I can call it from my Java program.
The figure displays correctly but some of the menu options don't work. I get errors such as,

??? Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.
??? Error while evaluating uimenu Callback

Any thoughts?

When you post a new issue, please use a new thread. They're cheap and easy
to create.

My first suspicion, particularly if the GUI works inside MATLAB, is that
you're missing some callbacks. Take a look at the "Fixing Callback
Problems: Missing Functions" and "Finding Missing Functions in an MATLAB
File" sections of the MATLAB Compiler documentation's Troubleshooting
chapter:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/compiler/br2cqa0-2.html#br2cqa0-5

Also make sure you're not trying to use a function that's not supported for
use with MATLAB Compiler (which MATLAB Builder for Java uses.) I believe
that information will be included in the log files created when you compiled
your application.

If that doesn't work, I think you should probably contact Technical Support,
as it would be difficult to troubleshoot this issue further without seeing
your code and how it was compiled, and that's a bit much to include in a
newsgroup posting.
