How to control GUI with external m-file

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
I created a GUI, named 'StartEngine', there is a button 'Run'(handles.pushbutton1) on the GUI.
Now, I opened the GUI and I want to make Background color of this button to be gray with a m-file.
It means how could I implement the following command out of StartEngine.m (corresponding to StartEnge.fig)
set(handles.pushbutton1, 'BackgroundColor', [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]);

Hi,
after I run the your first line (GUI already opened)
figs = findall('type', 'figure');
the following errors show:
Error using findall (line 24)
Invalid handles passed to findall

figs = findall(0, 'type', 'figure');
get(figs, 'Name')
get(figs, 'Tag')

I figure out an alternative solution, which do NOT use "control GUI with external m-file" but use "GUI control itself with feedback of external m-file"

Before, I thought the GUI(StartEngine.m) and the external m-file(ExcuteRun.m) run parallel, GUI will not "wait for" the external m-file runing to end and get its result/output.
Now, I found the code is "single-thred", GUI will continue after external m-file run to end.

By the way, I did not find error until now. I wonder if some risk exists using this way.

Sounds like a decent plan, except part 2 ;)
One difficulty you may experience is troubleshooting any of those components when something goes wrong. Let's say you have a variable named "V" in one of the xx.m files in the bottom row. V should always be a positive integer but you noticed it's value is NaN. You have no idea where that value is coming from. It could come from any of these possibilities:
  • from StartEngine
  • from xx.m #1
  • from xx.m #2
  • From within ExecuteRun.m
  • from an interaction in ExecuteRun between StartEngine and xx.m #1
  • from an interaction in ExecuteRun between StartEngine and xx.m #2
  • from an interaction in ExecuteRun between xx.m #1 and xx.m #2 within
and lots of other possibilities. This organization often make reproducibility difficult or even impossible.
One way to deal with many input and output variable is to organize them into a structure. For example,
function [motion, position] = movingObject(action)
end
Where the ouputs & inputs contains many fields
motion.velocity
motion.acceleration
motion.previousPosition
motion.currentPosition
% etc...
Anyway, I'm sure you'll figure this stuff out soon.
