This is also being discussed in bug #44670, with a suggested implementation so we could close this report as duplicate.

This bug is super old.  Is there any reason why we shouldn't implement 'uicontrol' objects in struct2hdl so they could be loaded and saved?

We could always check that the graphics toolkit is qt before restoring the uicontrol object.

Generating an error seems like a good intermediate step until we have full support so I pushed the changeset here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8135bce0812a).

Indeed uicontrols are not supported and I had not noticed those objects where implemented.

For ui related objects my approach has been to not store theim in the structure (see "uimenu" in hdl2struct), until QtHandle or any "ui"aware backend is added to the hg source tree, as I don't have any mean to actually test the code. 

On the other hand implementing (fake) support for objects that are already implemented would not be a huge work has Rik stated.
What do you think?

I have attached a minimal patch: struct2hdl sends an error if the requested object is not implemented.

(file #27255)

The issue is that your figure had an object of type "uicontrol" which currently isn't supported by struct2hdl.

The code to modify begins at line 114 of struct2hdl where there is a large if/elsif/elsif/endif tree for each type of object.  It seems like a branch needs to be added for "uicontrol" and then a new subfunction createuicontrol() added.  There are examples of other createXXXX functions in struct2hdl so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Using hdl2struct I have created a structure s so that the following produces an eror:


load foo.ot
struct2hdl(s)


error: 'h' undefined near line 143 column 20
error: called from:
error:   /usr/local/octave-dev/share/octave/3.7.0+/m/plot/struct2hdl.m at line 143, column 3
error:   /usr/local/octave-dev/share/octave/3.7.0+/m/plot/struct2hdl.m at line 150, column 16

foo.ot is attached.

I use a fairly recent dev version of octave (Dec. 12, 2c6b00c03329)
