Rupam - there are probably several different ways to do this, so here is one. Let's assume that you have two GUIs named Gui1 and Gui2 and that they are distinct GUIs (i.e. you are not running two instances of the same one). In the Property Inspector for Gui1, set the HandleVisibility property to on, and the Tag property to Gui1. This will allow us to search for the GUI given its (unique) tag. Do the same for Gui2 (except name the tag Gui2). Save both.
Now suppose that in Gui2 you want access to some of the data in Gui1. What you require, is the handle to the latter. In a (say) push button callback of Gui2, you can add the following code
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
h = findobj('Tag','Gui1');
if ~isempty(h)
g1data = guidata(h);
set(handles.text1,'String',get(g1data.edit1,'String'));
x = getappdata(h,'x');
end
The above example tests out two ways in which we can get data from the other GUI - use either guidata which gives us the handles to all widgets of Gui1 AND any user-defined data that had been saved in Gui1 to the handles object as function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.xData = -2*pi:0.0001:2*pi;
guidata(hObject,handles);
We then access this data as shown previously.
The other way is to use the setappdata and getappdata pairings. Using the previous callback for Gui1, we can save the app data as function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.xData = -2*pi:0.0001:2*pi;
guidata(hObject,handles);
setappdata(handles.Gui1,'x',[1:53]);
and then retrieve it with getappdata.
NOTE how we use must use the handles.Gui1 to save/set the data. And that is it. Try the above and see what happens!
