Question

I am running a program, in the end I ran a GUI that writes responses to an Excel file. In the contium of the program I try to read these files. It seem to me that MATLAB tries to read before the files are created by the GUI.

How can I tell the program to wait until the GUI is finished (button is pressed)?

Something like:

>>Run_Gui()
>>WaitSomeh ow()
>>xlsread(...)

Answer 1

If you want to wait until a figure is closed, try using

f = figure();
uiwait(f);

As @stefangretar suggested correctly, you can use

uiresume(f)

If you don’t want to destroy the window.
