Can I set the UIFigure or AppDesigner GUI to be disable?

I would like to make UIFigure of an application created with AppDesigner disable while a certain processing.

Figure object has an "Enable" property and we can set it as "disable", but UIFigure object doesn't seem to have an "Enable" property.

UIFigure, the main component of AppDesigner, does not have an "Enable" property.

As an alternative, you can use the uiprogressdlg function.

・uiprogressdlg function

The UIFigure(GUI) is disabled while the dialog box created by the uiprogressdlg function is displayed.

 

Example:

d = uiprogressdlg(app. UIFigure,'Title','Please Wait'); % dialog display (GUI is in Disable state)

...

close(d) % dialog exit (return to Enable state)
