GUI closing unexpectedly once published as an application?

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi, I have written a fully working GUI. I then wanted to add more functionality by bringing up a further GUI when a push button is pressed. This all seems to work fine when run from inside MATLAB. However, once the application is published using applicationCompiler, when that button is pressed the second GUI appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears/closes. The second GUI is called using:
% --- Executes on button press in pushbutton7.
function pushbutton7_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject handle to pushbutton7 (see GCBO)
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
FuncGen2;
I attach the code for the second GUI (FuncGen2) as well.

run the exe from a command prompt and it will write any error message to that window - that should help you debug.

Thats your error then - at runtime that is causing a crash which is the reason your code fails.
You should perform checks on the values provided by the user from the edit boxes before running the line (or the lazy way is to wrap in a try/catch)

Ah I think I may have found my error. Its the old case of trying to do something (in this case, draw a graph) without having initialised all of the values. Therefore, I think my offset (off) was not set to anything (or more likely [] (i.e. not a number))and so of course it could not evaluate the expression above.
Thank you for suggest the cmd prompt, most helpful :)
