MATLAB: How to make a passive slider in GUIDE

guipassiveslider

Hello, I would like to know how I can make a slider 'passive'. Passive means the slider will move to show progress but the user cannot adjust or move the slider. This will make the slider move like in movie player but not clickable or drag-able. Can I do that? Thanks!

Hi!
First of all, you have to open the slider's options and set 'Enable' to 'inactive', so the user cannot change the slider's position. Then, to set the position of the slider, you use its handle:
newvalue = 0.5;
set(handles.slider1,'Value',newvalue);
