I have a button group (tag: DBI_ButtonGroup) with two radio buttons (tag1: radio_DBI tag2: radio_non_DBI)
My selctionchangefcn callback is as follows:
% --- Executes when selected object is changed in DBI_ButtonGroup.
function DBI_ButtonGroup_SelectionChangeFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject handle to the selected object in DBI_ButtonGroup
% eventdata structure with the following fields (see UIBUTTONGROUP)
% EventName: string 'SelectionChanged' (read only)
% OldValue: handle of the previously selected object or empty if none was selected
% NewValue: handle of the currently selected object
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
switch get(eventdata.NewValue,'Tag') % Get Tag of selected object.
case 'radio_DBI'
set(handles.no_ADC,'Enable','Off')
otherwise
set(handles.no_ADC,'Enable','On')
end
So I basically want to change the tag called no_ADC (which is an edit text control, to Enable = off or Enable = on based on the radio button selection. When I run this, however, MATLAB spits out the following error:
Error using handle.handle/get
Invalid or deleted object.
Error in uitools.uibuttongroup/childAddedCbk>manageButtons (line 59)
oldctrl = get(hgroup, 'OldSelectedObject');
Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
I don't understand what is wrong.

Is the manageButtons function a standard MATLAB function?

I am not sure what that function even does. First attempt at GUIDE.

The code is correct. The problem seems to be caused by operator error when modifying the GUI elements. Root cause is unknown. See comments.

Hi Fangjun,
This is exactly what I just did. I basically copied/pasted the objects into a new blank GUIDE GUI and it worked. I am wondering about something though. On my first attempt, I would create objects, arrange them, etc, and save the .fig every so often. I then went back and set the TAG names for each object. Could this have been the problem? I am wondering if GUIDE breaks when you do that? On my COPY/paste attempt, I set all the tag names before saving.

Notice the function definition function DBI_ButtonGroup_SelectionChangeFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)? The name is associated with the tag name of the GUI elements. If you change the tag name in GUIDE, the function name is supposed to be changed automatically. I mean "suppsed to". I had experience that for unknown reason, they were un-synchronized and I have to do a lot to recover it back. But I can't re-produce that procedure to prove that something is wrong with GUIDE. So, just be careful, save often and back up often.

I think I found the solution. Just left-click on buttongrup panel and Bring to front, also the same with all radiobuttons inside the buttongrup panel. That worked for me.
