MATLAB: How to program a callback on a UICONTROL

pushbuttonuiconrol

I want to present several graphs such that when I click a push button beside a graph, the next in the series appears.
I tried the following code, but the push button those not influence the running.
PushButton = uicontrol(gcf,'Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Next',
        'Position', [300 10 30 30], 'Callback', 'pause');
How should I do this?

More than what you asked for...
PushButton = uicontrol(gcf, 'Style', 'push', 'String', 'Next', ...
  'Position', [300 10 30 30], ...
  'CallBack', @GraphCreator, ...
  'UserData', 0);
function GraphCreator(PushButton, EventData)
    newiter = get(PushButton, 'UserData') + 1;
    if newiter > N
      wd = warndlg('Reached end of graphs. Push again to start over');
      uiwait(wd, 30);  %30 second timeout on warning
      if ishandle(wd)  %only true if timed out
        delete(wd)
      end
      set(PushButton, 'UserData', 0);
      return
    end
    set(PushButton, 'UserData', newiter);
    InputData = load(FileName{newiter});
    fn = fieldnames(InputData);
    thisdataname = fn{1};
    create_graph(S.(thisdataname));
end
