how to dynamically pause the matlab into debugging while execution by a Gui?

I have a long non-gui matlab code with different function m-files which do some simulations.

I want to dynamically pause the code from running by going to the debugging mode while execution. How can I write a matlab Gui check box that from the start of the running the gui shows "go to debugging" and "continue" check boxes. As soon as I check "go to debugging" the program should go to debugging mode.

The reason is that I have some global variables and I want to stop the code from the printed results and change that variable, like in debugging mode, and then press continue for rest of execution with the new global variable.

I appreciate your help.

Create a callback function for the "go to debugging" checkbox. Inside the callback, include the command

   dbstop;

When finished debugging, simply type

   dbcont

At the command prompt.

Also make sure the check box Interruptible property is set to 'off'.
