Stop permanently execution of codes under a Callback using another Callback

Hi there.. I have a GUI with a 'Compute' pushbutton and a 'Stop Calculation' pushbutton. I would like to know how can I stop (not interrupting temporarily) the execution of codes which come under 'Compute' button immediately after clicking 'Stop Calculation' button without completing the remaining codes. I am attaching the demo of codes associated with the 'Compute' button here. What will be the additional codes I have to add to the 'Compute' as well as 'Stop Calculation' button in order to achieve this task? Looking forward for a help on this. Thanks in advance!

function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)      %Compute

%---------------If Auto run mode is on-------------------

if(get(handles.radiobutton1,'Value')==1)
%  certain lines of code

  tstart=tic; tstop=0;
    if(isnan(a))
        a=inf;
    end
    while(((~(get(handles.radiobutton1,'Value')))||tstop<a*60) &&           getappdata(handles.pushbutton13,'Value')==1)
  h = waitbar(0,'computing');
  
  if (get(handles.radiobutton8,'Value')==1)
  %  certain lines of code
  end  
  waitbar(0.1,h,'computing');
  
  if (get(handles.radiobutton9,'Value')==1)
    %  certain lines of code
  end
  waitbar(0.2,h,'computing');
  
  if (get(handles.radiobutton10,'Value')==1)
    %  certain lines of code
  end
  waitbar(0.3,h,'computing');
  
  if(get(handles.radiobutton3,'Value')==1)
    %  certain lines of code
  end
    waitbar(0.5,h,'computing');
  
  if(get(handles.radiobutton4,'Value')==1)
    %  certain lines of code
  end
  waitbar(0.7,h,'computing');
  
  if(get(handles.radiobutton5,'Value')==1)
    %  certain lines of code
  end
  waitbar(0.9,h,'computing');
  
  if(get(handles.radiobutton6,'Value')==1)
    %  certain lines of code
  end  
  waitbar(1,h,'computing');
  
  end
else

%---------------If Autorun mode is not on--------------

h = waitbar(0,'computing');
if (get(handles.radiobutton8,'Value')==1)
  %  certain lines of code
end

waitbar(0.1,h,'computing');

end

waitbar(0.2,h,'computing');

  %  certain lines of code
end

waitbar(0.3,h,'computing');
if(get(handles.radiobutton3,'Value')==1)
  %  certain lines of code
end

waitbar(0.5,h,'computing');
if(get(handles.radiobutton4,'Value')==1)
  %  certain lines of code
end

waitbar(0.7,h,'computing');
if(get(handles.radiobutton5,'Value')==1)
  %  certain lines of code
end

waitbar(0.9,h,'computing');
if(get(handles.radiobutton6,'Value')==1)
  %  certain lines of code
end

waitbar(1,h,'computing');
close(h)
h = msgbox('Computation Done');
end

Reena, have a look at How can I interrupt a callback and NOT come back to finish its execution in MATLAB?

Answer 2

I was able to work cause a slider control to stop executing with a pushbutton which changes a variable. The variable value then causes another portion of a if statement to execute which does not include the slider. Code below the slide can then execute without the slider serving any further purpose. I am sharing because I found that this is simpler than some other solution out there although it's still probably not that elegant. Please note that this was done through a LOT of trial and error, so some of the code may be unnecessary or redundant (I didn't have time to clean it up yet).
