I set up a GUI with guide, but the input variables are not getting set.

Somehow the callback function that needs to set the input of the GUI to a variable is not setting it. How do I make the GUI set the variable?

Do you mean you want to pass parameters to set the initial of, say, an editbox or two? If so, you can access anything passed in through the

guiname_OpeningFcn

variable varargin.

If not, please explain exactly what you want to do.

[Jeanette]

Yes. I am trying to set variables that the user selects from drop down menus. The code is generated in GUIDE (looks like C++). Here it is:

function varargout = SensorInputGui(varargin)

% SENSORINPUTGUI M-file for SensorInputGui.fig

% SENSORINPUTGUI, by itself, creates a new SENSORINPUTGUI or raises the existing

% singleton*.

%

% H = SENSORINPUTGUI returns the handle to a new SENSORINPUTGUI or the handle to

% the existing singleton*.

%

% SENSORINPUTGUI('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local

% function named CALLBACK in SENSORINPUTGUI.M with the given input arguments.

%

% SENSORINPUTGUI('Property','Value',...) creates a new SENSORINPUTGUI or raises the

% existing singleton*. Starting from the left, property value pairs are

% applied to the GUI before SensorInputGui_OpeningFcn gets called. An

% unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application

% stop. All inputs are passed to SensorInputGui_OpeningFcn via varargin.

%

% *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu. Choose "GUI allows only one

% instance to run (singleton)".
