I wrote a simple function which incorporates creation of a figure and pusbutton.

I expected that after pressing the button, the function will provide the answer based on what callcack function of pushbutton is performing:

function [B,success] = TGA_MAIN(X,Y,L,W,Xb,Yb,Lb,Wb, STRING)
global B
B=0,
success=0
Xa=X;
Ya=Y;
La=L;
Wa=W;
p=Xb;
r=Xb;
s=Lb;
t=Wb;
STR=STRING;
handles.load_fig=figure('MenuBar','none','Position',[Xa,Ya,La,Wa])
handles.load_button=uicontrol(handles.load_fig,'style','pushbutton','string',STR,'position',[p,r,s,t])
set(handles.load_button,'callback',{@load_callback,handles})
function load_callback(gcf,event_data,handles)
global B      
x=5; 
B=x;
success=1;  

My expectation was that after I press button, the answer must be q=5,s=1.

However, I see q=0,s=0, which I defined in very beginning of soft.

The pressing of the button changes nothing...

Example of call:

[q,s]=TGA_MAIN(500,400,400,300,120,120,120,50, 'STRING')

result is:

q =

0

s =

0

You shouldn't use globals to share data to a callback. Use the guidata struct instead. For general advice and examples for how to create a GUI, have look at this thread.

Set a breakpoint in the callback function. Does it stop there? What happens if you step through it line by line?

I do not use GUIDE at all. I write from scratch using handles,

handles.load_fig=figure('MenuBar','none','Position',[Xa,Ya,La,Wa])

handles.load_button=uicontrol(handles.load_fig,'style','pushbutton','string',STR,'position',[p,r,s,t])

set(handles.load_button,'callback',{@load_callback,handles})

function load_callback(gcf,event_data,handles)

x=5;

B=x;

success=1;

end

OK you're doing it the harder way. But the question is the same. Set a breakpoint there and see if you step into that function. Do you?

:). To my view it is way easier and more flexible way.

Yes, it nornaly stops at preack poin.

The proble is how to transfer data from inside of callback function to main function?

I thought that B and "success" wich I defines ad global must be visible in main function. Howvever by some reason they are not.

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

Global does not automatically make a variable global everywhere. Any place that you want a globa variable to be seen, you must have

global B
global success  

otherwise they'll be local variables, not the global variables you expected.

It does not work like this.

If I try to define global in main AND within call back, it gives error:

[q,s] = TGA_MAIN(500,400,400,300,120,120,120,50, 'LOAD')

Error: File: TGA_MAIN.m Line: 28 Column: 12

Global or persistent variables must be declared in the same scope where they are first used. Move the

declaration for variable 'B' to the outermost function before its first use.

Again: I see corect data within callback, however, I do not know how make those data available outside of call back for main?

You posted this as an "Answer", (rather than as a comment to my Answer), so have you answered it?

Is the code in your original post your entire program?

MATLAB is behaving correctly. You create the pushbutton and give it a callback and then immediately exit from the function in which it was created, returning the values of the outputs that they have at that time. By default MATLAB will not wait for you to push the button (and so update the global variable) in the workspace of that function. You could try to make MATLAB wait using something like uiwait so the TGA_MAIN function doesn't return until the figure with that button gets closed or some property updated.
