MATLAB: Visibility of an edit text / GUI

edit textpush button

I have a push button and a edit text in my GUI and I want this edit box to be visible only if the push button is pressed. I want to know how should I do that.

Best Answer

First of all, I think you should use a togglebutton, as with a pushbutton the edit box would go invisible as soon as you let go of the mouse button.
for the button callback:
if get(hObject,'Value')
    set(handles.editTag,'Visible','On')
else
    set(handles.editTag,'Visible','Off')
end
Where editTag is the Tag of your edit button (The default is edit1)
