Although what you are looking for is specifically in domain of radio buttons however, there is a way around when using check boxes as well. I have discovered a cool way to do so.
Assuming you have three check boxes, head over to the callback function of the first check box and paste the following if-else statement:
function checkbox1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
if get(handles.checkbox1,'value')
set(handles.checkbox2,'Enable','off')
set(handles.checkbox3,'Enable','off')
else
set(handles.checkbox2,'Enable','on')
set(handles.checkbox3,'Enable','on')
end
%%%%%%%%%%
Now do the same with the callbacks of other two checkboxes but change the tag or name of the checkboxes accordingly. This way, the user can only check one checkbox at a time while the remaining checkboxes will be disabled.
