In a script(outside of GUI), how to execute button callback function in GUI?

Hi, all. I have a GUI program(named myGUI) created by guide(). There are several checkboxes and a button which is used to calculate a measure value and then save it to the file according to the two GUI input values and the status of checkboxes. This button function sometimes takes a long time to finish calculation. In order to choose the optimal value of this measure, I want to use this GUI within a loop.

The script is as follows:

--------------------------

A % Known row vector

B % Known row vector

for i = 1:10

 myGUI(A(i), B(i));  % Here, I want to execute the button function in myGUI.

end

---------------------------------------------------------------------

My question is :

1) how to execute the button function of myGUI within the loop?

2) how to decide the status whether myGUI finish its final calculation,

Thanks for any help.

A good programming style is to move the calculations in a separate function, which is called from the callback, but is available from outside the GUI also. Then you can run the operations from the GUI or in "batch-mode" programmatically.

Using the indirection to call the calculations through calling the GUI is less flexible and more complicated.

The general rul is: Keep the data, the calculations and the GUI separately as consequent as possible. Such a modular concept allows e.g. for modifying the GUI without touching the calculations, and vice versa.

Thank you for your reply. In addition, the mentioned GUI program is a complex open source program, not I implemented.
