GUI question

i have the main gui window. can i open through a button an extra gui window to perform some tasks and then close it and continue working in the main window??

[Oleg Komarov]

Yes you can.

can you tell my how?

[Jan]

Yes, I'm sure that Oleg can tell you how.

[Jan]

Now without humor: You can insert the command for opening the 2nd GUI in the callback of the button. While this is actually easy, not to say trivial, it is complicated to give an explicit example, because your question is vague. Therefore Oleg's "yes" is an almost optimal answer.

What have you tried so far and which problems appeared?

1. Build your other GUI.

2. Create the button in your main GUI and put code inside its click callback that invokes your new GUI. This will just be the base name of the M-file that your GUI is stored in.

3. Use uiwait as detailed in the bottom half of this page: <http://www.mathworks.com.au/support/solutions/en/data/1-15K5T/index.html?product=ML&solution=1-15K5T>
