Create an uicontrol:

textH1 = uicontrol('style', 'edit', 'position', [10 10 100 20]) 
textH1 = 

  UIControl with properties:

              Style: 'edit'
             String: ''
    BackgroundColor: [0.9400 0.9400 0.9400]
           Callback: ''
              Value: 0
           Position: [10 10 100 20]
              Units: 'pixels'

Call UICalendar:

uicalendar('DestinationUI', {textH1, 'string'})

Select a date and click OK.

Alternatively, you can use datetime arrays for InitDate and Holiday. 

uicalendar('InitDate',datetime('15-Mar-2015','Locale','en_US'),'Holiday',datetime('16-Mar-2015','Locale','en_US'))

Select a date and click OK. For more information on using uicalendar with an application, see Example of Using UICalendar with an Application.

Flag to indicate nonbusiness days, specified using numeric values of 0 or 1. The values are:

  • 0 — (Default) Standard calendar without nonbusiness day indicators.

  • 1 — Marks NYSE nonbusiness days in red.

Data Types: logical

Flag to indicate whether business and nonbusiness days, specified using numeric values of 0 or 1. The values are:

  • 0 — Only allow selection of business days. Nonbusiness days are determined from the following parameters:

    • 'BusDays'

    • 'Holiday'

    • 'Weekend'

  • 1 — (Default) Allows selections of business and nonbusiness days.

Data Types: logical

Color of date squares, specified using [date R G B], where [R G B] is the color.

Data Types: double

Color of numeric date number in the date square, specified using [date R G B], where [R G B] is the color.

Data Types: double

Destination object's handles, specified with values H or {H, {Prop}}. The values are:

  • H — Scalar or vector of the destination object's handles. The default UI property that is populated with the dates is a character vector.

  • {H, {Prop}} — Cell array of handles and the destination object's UI properties. H must be a scalar or vector and Prop must be a single property character vector or a cell array of property character vectors.

Data Types: char | cell

Holiday dates in calendar, specified using a scalar or vector of serial date numbers or datetime arrays. The corresponding date character vector of the holiday appears Red.

Data Types: double | datetime

Initial start date when calendar is initialized, specified with date values using a serial date number, datetime array, or date character vector. The values are:

  • Datenum — Numeric or datetime array date value specifying the initial start date when the calendar is initialized. The default date is TODAY.

  • Datestr — Date character vector value specifying the initial start date when the calendar is initialized. Datestr must include a Year, Month, and Day (for example, 01-Jan-2006).

Data Types: double | char | datetime

Format of initial start date (InitDate), specified using a character vector. Seedatestr for date format values.

Data Types: double | datetime

Format of output date, specified using a character vector. Seedatestr for date format values.

Data Types: double | datetime

Style for output date, specified using a value of 0, 1, 2, or 3. The values are:

  • 0 — (Default) Returns a single date character vector or a cell array (row) of date character vectors. For example, {'01-Jan-2001, 02-Jan-2001, ...'}.

  • 1 — Returns a single date character vector or a cell (column) array of date character vectors. For example, {'01-Jan-2001; 02-Jan-2001; ...'}.

  • 2 — Returns a character vector representation of a row vector of datenums. For example, '[732758, 732759, 732760, 732761]'.

  • 3 — Returns a character vector representation of a column vector of datenums. For example, '[732758; 732759; 732760; 732761]'.

Data Types: double

Flag for date selection, specified with using a value of 0 or 1. The values are:

  • 0 — Allows multiple date selections.

  • 1 — (Default) Allows only a single date selection.

Data Types: logical

Define weekend days, specified using a value of 1 through 7. Weekend days are marked in red. DayOfWeek can be a vector containing the following numeric values:

  • 1 — Sunday

  • 2 — Monday

  • 3 — Tuesday

  • 4 — Wednesday

  • 5 — Thursday

  • 6 — Friday

  • 7 — Saturday

Also this value can be a vector of length 7 containing 0's and 1's. The value 1 indicates a weekend day. The first element of this vector corresponds to Sunday. For example, when Saturday and Sunday are weekend days then WEEKEND = [1 0 0 0 0 0 1].

Data Types: double
