How do I create a button that switches to another tab of a GUI?

Here is my current code:

fig = uifigure('Name', 'Diabetes Diagnosis');
tabGroup = uitabgroup(fig);
sympTab = uitab(tabGroup,'Title','Symptoms');
famHistTab = uitab(tabGroup,'Title', 'Family History');
nextCtrl = uicontrol(sympTab, 'ButtonPushedFcn', {@buttonPushed,tabGroup,famHistTab});


function buttonPushed(uiTabGroup, uiFamHistTab)
   uiTabGroup.SelectedTab = uiFamHistTab
end

The control is meant to switch from sympTab to famHistTab. I think the biggest problem is that I don't have any idea how to format a callback function. It outputs a figure, but the button doesn't have any apparent effect.

You can try the code below. I’ve used uibutton in place of uicontrol since there is no 'ButtonPushedFcn' property on the UIControl class.

As for callback, assign a function handle that references the callback function to the ButtonDownFcn property of the button and mention the arguments you're passing when doing this,as shown below:

fig = uifigure('Name', 'Diabetes Diagnosis');
tabGroup = uitabgroup(fig);
sympTab = uitab(tabGroup,'Title','Symptoms');
famHistTab = uitab(tabGroup,'Title', 'Family History');

btn = uibutton(sympTab,'ButtonPushedFcn', @(arg1,arg2) buttonPushed(tabGroup,famHistTab));

% Create the function for the ButtonPushedFcn callback
function buttonPushed(uitabGroup,uiFamHistTab)      
    uitabGroup.SelectedTab = uiFamHistTab;
end
