How to add several interfaces in one interface of MATLAB GUI

Hi Actually I want to add different element in one GUI interface and by clicking different element different interfaces will be appeared for different calculation and will give different transfer matrices those will be calculated together by pressing pushbutton. Please if anybody have any idea tell me as I am trying from many days but don't know how to do it. Thanks to all

What is an "element", you mean a "uiobject" (uibutton, uitable etc?)?

Happy to help, but you'll have to work on the question clarity a little for me.

Do you want to create uicontrols programmatically when certain values are selected in other uicontrols?

http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/matlab/ref/uicontrol.html

In this case you'll need to put uicontrol() commands inside the callbacks of your "parent"/controlling uiobjects.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm afraid I can't describe the entire process of GUI-design here (which is really what your question requires) so it will be a case of doing a lot of background reading on your, unless you have a very specific task you want to achieve.

Start @ http://www.mathworks.co.uk/discovery/matlab-gui.html

Broadly, your options are 1) use GUIDE to drag & drop objects into a figure 2) use the uicontrol() to generate uiobjects in a figure programmatically

In both cases you will then put code into the callbacks which changes the properties of the objects (the values in textboxes) when events are triggered (i.e. the user pushes a button)

If you want to make a group of objects appear & disappear then create them inside a uipanel (their parent should be the panel) and make the panel visible/invisible by

set(handles.myPanel,'visible,'off')

< http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/matlab/ref/uipanelproperties.html>

You can put this command inside the callback of a pushbutton (for example) to facilitate control of the panel.

I'd suggest that you play around with this stuff a little and come back to the Matlab Answers if you hit a specific hurdle along the way.

Thanks a lot for your answer and sorry for late reply, Actually I have a design based problem and I made several script files for several calculations, I just want to decorate all the calculations in one GUI interface so that by cliking pushbutton for one section an innterface will be appeared and so on. So how this can be possible could you please tell me? Thanks Mark Whirdy

uicontrol( 'Style', 'push', 'Position', [20 190 250 30],'fontsize',10,'string','Your GUI name', 'Callback',@(src, event) GUI name() );

Write this script below opening function.. and at place Your GUI name write the name of that gui which you want to open..

[Das Bably]

Thanks Lalit Patil, I will try with this,Actually I am a begineer in GUI so could you please suggest me any initiative step that will be helpfull for me, I have already looked out all simple tutorial on GUI,But I have to do work with the combination of several interfaces in a single interface. Thank you again

[Lalit Patil]

If you want to insert 4GUI then write this line four times.

 uicontrol( 'Style', 'push', 'Position', [20 190 250  30],'fontsize',10,'string','Button1', 'Callback',@(src, event) Your 1st GUI name() );

 uicontrol('Style', 'push', 'Position', [20 130 250 30],'fontsize',10,'string','Button2', 'Callback',@(src, event) Your 2nd GUI name() );

 uicontrol( 'Style', 'push', 'Position', [20 70 250 30],'fontsize',10,'string','Button3', 'Callback',@(src, event) Your 3rd GUI name() );

 uicontrol('Style', 'push', 'Position', [20 10 250 30],'fontsize',10,'string','Button4', 'Callback',@(src, event) Your 4th GUI name() );

And so on..

Yes i tried by using the line you gave previously but there is a problem like when I run the main GUIDE then other inner GUDE is loded in main GUIDE but the inner GUIDE interface does not appear,so that I am not able to give seperate input in the inner GUIDE. If I want to enter several GUIDE interfaces in one I may need to several GUIDE interfaces previusly and then loaded in main GUIDE using your given lines, Am I right? Thanks for your cordial help

[Das Bably]

Thanks a lot I think I am able to enter multiple interfaces in single one but I need your kind help for another problem like I want to use the calculation part of a script file in MATLAB GUIDE m file in pushbutton calback but I am not getting the same result as like script file moreover in a matrix like form. Please if you have any suggestion give me Thanks again Lalit Patil

[Das Bably]

Hi I want to put many children interfaces in the main interface for that i want to get the pushbutton in main interfaces side by side instead of vertical position, for that what kind of change should I make in 'position'? Please give me any reply if it is known to you Thank you for your kind help

See

1. uitab and uitabgroup (Matlab functions with hidden documentation - open the files)
2. Tab panels – uitab and relatives
3. TabPanel Constructor v2.8 (2010)
4. search the File Exchange for more
5. uitabpanel

Thanks for your ans, I tried with tabpanel but it doesn't work as i am a beginner so i have lackings of vast knowledge.I am using version R2011a. I have alredy looked out all simple examples using GUIDE interface that creates interactive window, If you help me in coding inside the callback of GUIDE instead of Programmatically made GUI it will be more helpfull for me. thank you again
