Execute command if timer runs out

I am developing an App in the App Designer, and I would like to have a block of code run if a timer expires. So basically, if a button is pressed within a certain time window, code A runs, but if no button is pressed within that time window, code B runs. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

A timer object might work:
% Define callback
callback = @(x,y)disp('hello world');
% Create timer; this will execute TimerFcn after the 10s StartDelay has elapsed
t = timer( ...
'ExecutionMode', 'singleShot', ...
'StartDelay', 10, ...
'TimerFcn', callback);
% Start timer
start(t);

This is perfect! Combined with an if statement in the callback function this should do exactly what I'm aiming for. Thanks!
