I have being dealing with the following problem: in a GUI, user enters a number N. That creates two sets of N popupmenus. popup1 controls popup2: Let's say popup1 has options '1', '2' and '3'. If option '1' in popup1 is selected, popup2 menu should be 'A', 'B' and 'C', if '2' is selected in popup1, popup2 should be 'M', 'N' and 'P' and if option '3' is selected in popup1, popup2 should be 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'.

I have tried to use uicontrol and callback, and it creates the popups. The problem is that I don't know how to access the variables inside the popups. Does anyone know how to do this?

In the callback of popup1, you just want to modify the string in popup2.

I guess you need something like :

function popup1_callback(hObject,eventdata,handles)
Value1 = get(handles.popup1,'Value');
if Value1==1
    List = {'A';'B';'C'};
elseif Value1==2
    List = {'M';'N';'P'};
else
    List = {'X';'Y';'Z'};
end
set(handles.popup2,'String',List);

Are you making your gui with GUIDE ? or do you code it entirely manually ?

The code I posted supposed a gui created by GUIDE.

but I see uicontrol, so are you creating the pushbutton with guide, then the popup with uicontrol ?

it can work, but I'd say it's not optimal.

My advice :

- Create the popupmenus with GUIDE, and set the visible property to off. this way, when you open your gui, their not visible.

- in the callback of the pushbutton, instead of creating the popu, you can just now make them visible.

And for your problem, the error is normal, because when you do

handles.popup1 = uicontrol('Style', 'popup',... 'String', {'1','2','3'},... 'Position', [20 340 100 50],... 'Callback', {@popup1_callback, handles});

you are creating a new graphic object and the data passed as argument in the callback is handles. But at the moment of the creation, the field popup1 is not created yet. So in the popupcallback you defined, handles.popup1 does not exist, even if it exist and has benn stocked in the gui with guidata(hObject, handles); at the end of the pushcallback. (if you use my advcice, you will not have this problem anymore).

To fix your problem, by keeping a mix of GUIDE and uicontrol, one way is :

function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.popup1 = uicontrol('Style', 'popup',... 'String', {'1','2','3'},... 'Position', [20 340 100 50],... 'Callback', {@popup1_callback});
handles.popup2 = uicontrol('Style', 'popup',... 'String', {'A','B','C'},... 'Position', [20 300 100 50],... 'Callback', '');
guidata(hObject, handles);

%___________________________________

function popup1_callback(hObject, eventdata) 
handles = guihandles(gcf);
Value1 = get(handles.popup1,'Value'); 
if Value1==1 
List = {'A';'B';'C'}; 
elseif Value1==2 
List = {'M';'N';'P'}; 
else 
List = {'X';'Y';'Z'}; 
end
set(handles.popup2,'String',List);
guidata(hObject, handles);

I copy/pasted a wrong line in the previous/previous code.

I pasted

function popup1_callback(hObject, eventdata) 
handles = guihandles(gcf);

instead of

function popup1_callback(hObject, eventdata) 
handles = guidata(gcf);

this works

Try using GUIDE: http://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/category/gui-or-guide/

Or use this framework where you can just plug your code into the callbacks for various sliders, listboxes, etc. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24224

Hello Image Analyst, Thanks for your reply. If i understand it correctly, in all examples you sent the objects are defined before runtime, which would make my life a lot easier. The problem I have is that the popups will have to be created at runtime and I am struggling to access the handles in this case. Would you have an example where user enters N, two sets of N popups are created and popup1 controls popup2?
