Hi,
I like to send a value of editbox in A fig. to B. fig. With the value, I like to set max of a slider.
I successed this in the same figure window, but failed in differents figure windows.
if anyone know, please let me know.
Thansk.

1) When the user clicks on the "GoTo SecondFig" pushbutton and the new figure appears, the user cannot push again the button on the "MainFigure".
As part of the push button's callback function, disable the button using
app.Button1.Enable = 'off'; ...Also, the user is forced to close the second figure if he wants to return to the main one
How are you hiding the first figure? Is the figure embedded within the app or is it external to the app? Either way, within the callback function of the push button from fig 1,
fig1.Visible = 'off'; % to turn off visibility of figure "fig1"
% or
ax.Visibility = 'off'; % to control the axes (it's not clear if "figure" is really a figure or axes)
Then, set the callback function for Button2 (in fig2) to turn the visibility back on for fig 1.
app.Button1.Visible = 'on'; However, fig2 needs to have access to fig1 handle. Is Fig2 created from the callback function of the button in Fig 1? If so, you could pass the handle there. You may also be able to use find(). Also, see my answer to your question "How do I link these two figures...".
2) When the user clicks on the "Return to MainFig" pushbutton, "SecondFigure" closes and focus return to the main one.
The callback function for Button 2 (in fig 2) will do two things in this order.
- set the Visible property of fig 1 (shown above)
- close the figure using close(f) or delete(f) where f is the handle to figure 2.
(How do I link these two figures in the callback of the "Return to MainFig" pushbutton?)
It depends how they are being created. Figure have a propery UserData where you can store anything you want. You could store the figure handles there. For example,
fig1 = figure(); fig2 = figure('UserData', fig1); fig1.UserData = fig2; Now access the figure handles using
fig1.UserData % handle to fig2
fig2.UserData % handle to fig1
3) Do all this stuff with appDesigner.
It's not clear what you mean here. App Designer is a figure so if you're creating additional figures, those figures must be external. When you say "figure" do you mean "axes" or "tab"?
Each handles structure is associated with a particular figure. When you are using GUIDE, the handles structure that would be automatically referenced on your behalf would belong to the figure (GUI) that the graphics object is part of. That handles structure is not going to know anything about the handles structure of the other figure (GUI) unless you specifically passed in that information.
When the first GUI calls upon the second GUI, the figure handle of the second GUI will be returned to the caller in the first GUI. The first GUI can then use guidata() on the second figure's figure handle in order to get the second GUI's handles, and the first GUI can then write the first GUI's figure handle into the second GUI's handles. Then in the second GUI, when something is needed out of the first GUI, that recorded figure handle can be used to retrieve the first GUI's handles. For example,
%in first gui
fig1 = gcf(); %first GUI's figure handle
fig2 = SecondGUI(); %returns second GUI's figure handle
handles2 = guidata(fig2); %fetch second GUI's handles
handles2.fig1 = fig1; %record first GUI's figure handle
guidata(fig2, handles2); %and update second GUI's handles
and in second GUI
function some_callback(hObject, event, handles) %in second GUI, handles refers to handles for second GUI
%and we stored a copy of the first GUI's figure handle there
fig1 = handles.fig1; handles1 = guidata(fig1); %retrieve handles for first GUI
get(handles1.T, 'String') %reference to something in first GUI
Alternately, in the case where there is only one object with the tag T, you can skip all of this and instead use
function some_callback(hObject, event, handles) T = findall(0, 'Tag', 'T'); %come out come out where-ever you are!
get(T, 'String')findall can search all objects in all figures. It is not as efficient as the code from above, and you have complications if there are multiple objects with the same Tag.
