R2013b - uitable can't accept data from new 'table' data type?

The new 'table' data type in R2013b looks like it has a lot going for it. It seems obvious that we'd be able to directly insert a table variable into a uitable. However, this generates an error and it looks like uitable has not updated (filedate same is the same July 2012 as R2013a). Matlab's variable editor does handle them nicely. Any thoughts on how we can get access to this control for our GUIs?

Shad, give this a try:

>> uit = uitable;
>> t = table([1;2;3],[4;5;6])
t = 
    Var1    Var2
    ____    ____
    1       4   
    2       5   
    3       6   
>> set(uit,'Data',table2cell(t))

or

>> set(uit,'Data',t{:,:})

The latter is not suitable if the table contains (incompatible) mixed types. Hope this helps.

Thanks Peter, I didn't see the table2cell function. This should work until uitable gets updated.
