MATLAB: How to disable a button later in the program on gui

I want to disable the roll button of a dice,after the player of my snakes and ladders program,has landed on 100……what function can I use to disable the button???

%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')

MATLAB: How to make the MATLAB GUI start faster

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)

MATLAB: How to use toogle button to switch on and off a push button

If I understand correctly, you have a toggle button and a pushbutton. When you set the toggle button to 'on', you want the pushbutton callback to execute. Is that correct?

If that is correct, the trick is perhaps to realize that your callbacks are just functions. You can call them just like any function. The solution here is to call the pushbutton callback from within the toggle callback function (when value is 'on'). Just be sure to set the first input to be the corresponding component object instead of hObject.

% --- Executes on button press in on_offbutton.
function on_offbutton_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to on_offbutton (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% Hint: get(hObject,'Value') returns toggle state of on_offbutton
button_state = get(hObject,'Value');
if(button_state == 1)
   set(handles.on_offbutton,'String','ON','ForegroundColor','green')
   % Call the add callback function.
   add_Callback(handles.add_callback, eventdata, handles)
else
    set(handles.on_offbutton,'string','OFF','foregroundcolor','red')   
end
