Rainaire - what kind of window are you popping up? Another GUI or some kind of dialog?

>> f = figure;
>> t = timer('ExecutionMode','singleShot','StartDelay',20,'TimerFcn',@(~,~)close(f));
>> start(t)

So is figure the name of my figure or should I just use the word

[José-Luis]

f is the handle of your figure. It is a number. Click on your figure and then try gcf in the command line. The number returned would be your figure handle.

@José-Luis, How do I close if it is a normal PC window, not a MATLAB figure or GUI or dialog?

@Asit Kumar: You mean a window, which does not belong to Matlab? This is new question, so please open a new thread.
