GUI push button : when pressed should execute a m-file

Hi I am Vinod. Right now i'm working on preparing a GUI for communication systems as an teaching aid. I have written m-files for all modulation schemes and coding schemes. What i want to do is I want to make GUI. In that GUI i want to have push buttons for each modulation scheme. So, when i press a push button, the corresponding m-file should be executed. That's all i want. Suppose I'm having a program Amplitude modulation Convenam.m. so, if i press the push button of CAM the convenam.m has to be executed. please help me

Hi vinod,

Is your doubt rectified.If yes,could you help me please. I am a beginner and don't know how to write a code in a callback function.

function pushbutton37_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbutton37 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

Venkata, what do you want the callback to do?

[Venkata Jayadeep Kodali]

@walter I want it to execute a m file or a function. I am communicating with a serial port in that m file.

@walter I fixed it with the help of another guy. Anyways Thanks. I have one more question. can I change the data of a particular row in a UITABLE after implementing a particular push button. if yes can you give me an example

[Walter Roberson]

You need to get() the 'data' of the uitable, modify the row that you want changed, and set() the 'data' to be the new version. You cannot just retrieve or store a row (at least not without going to the Java level.)

[Venkata Jayadeep Kodali]

You mean I cannot change only a particular row. I have to get the whole data back and change all data and change data which I want. Right ? And if that's the case how to implement in a java level. I know java programming.

In the callback for the pushbutton, include a line

Convenam

That's all there is to it unless you want to pass parameters in to the program or get results back from the program.
