App Designer: How to open a second GUI or a new window with panels, lamps, edit fields, etc. by a ButtonPush callback ?

431 views (last 30 days)
Hey, I think my Problem sounds simple. But I am new to the matlab app designer.
I have an already existing GUI where I shall make some changes. When I click a button I want to open a second GUI or window. In that window I want to use some components of the component library.

You can create a 2nd app with appdesigner and call it from your first app. Your callback should look like this:
function buttonPushed(app,event)
app2
end

I created two apps. The second app is called from the first app (app2) und the first app turns unvisible (app.UIFigure.Visible = 'off').
My question: How to make the first app visible again?
I have already tried many ways (app1.UIFigure.Visible = 'on' or app.app1.UIFigure.Visible = 'on' or app1.Visible = 'on') but nothing works... Please help! :)
Reason why I want to make the first app visible again and do not want to open the app1 again:
I need to have the opportunity in app2 to go back to app1. That´s why I just want to make app1 unvisible and visible again :)

Have you tried to create a button, its callback and modify the callback?
You could try
fig = figure();
assignin('base','fig',fig);
within the callback to create a new figure.

Hi! I have the same issue here. I just want a new window to show some details, then have a button to back to main window. How can I dot it? I'm new in MatLab.
