MATLAB: Block and un-block items

enabled

Hello,

in guide I have few pushbuttons, uitables, radiobuttons…..few are enabled and few of them are disabled…

If I press button Calculate, than calculation is executed. During calculation I need disable all items. If calculation is finished, than enabled items before calculation have to be again enabled and disabled items before calculation have to be again disabled.

Haw can I do it?

msgbox? Or is there anything better?

Thank you

Each object in a GUI has a unique name which you can use to set parameters for. As an example, for a pushbutton you would use:

 set(handles.pushbutton,'Enable','on') 
 set(handles.pushbutton,'Enable','off')

to enable/disable the button with name pushbutton.

GUI startup times can be improved by setting the Visible property to "off" for any uicontrols that aren't needed on startup. The Visible property can then be set to "on" in the GUI code, when they are needed.

For example, if there are multiple pushbuttons that only need to be available after another button is clicked, then the GUI should start with their Visible property set to "off", and that button's callback function should make those buttons visible:

function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
set([handles.pushbutton2;
       handles.pushbutton3;
       handles.pushbutton4;
       handles.pushbutton5;
       handles.pushbutton6;
       handles.pushbutton7;
       handles.pushbutton8;
       handles.pushbutton9;
       handles.pushbutton10],'Visible','on)

%assuming you are using GUIDE and the button is called pushbutton1 

 set(handles.pushbutton1,'Enable','off')

After the code that rolls the dice finishes re-enable the button

%assuming you are using GUIDE and the button is called pushbutton1 
 set(handles.pushbutton1,'Enable','on')
