Values between GUI

Hi All,

I open a sub GUI from the MAIN GUI through selecting a menu and enter values in the edit text box I am trying to get the sub GUI text box value in the main GUI without opening the SUB GUI, but i couldn't do it.

As well the values entered in the SUB GUI vanishes once i close the SUB GUI.I also created a button and tried to get the string of the text box and set it to the same in the button callback. but if i close the SUB GUI and open it the values are gone

Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Bala

You can't get values from a sub GUI without opening it. How could that ever work???

You can pass in values into the input argument list of a GUI, and accept output arguments from it back in your main program once your subGUI exits. Or, worst case, just write things out to a mat file using save() with a known filename that your main GUI knows the name of. You can set output arguments in the gui_OutputFcn() function.
