Manipulation of the listdlg function

Hello all,

my goal in a nutshell:

The user should be able to easily and quickly select and plot a large selection of data. For this purpose, I would like to manipulate the listdlg function in such a way that after selecting the relevant data via a button, another figure is opened in which the selected data is plotted. Furthermore, it should be possible to add more data to the plot. The second button should be able to delete the Figure content.

The problem is that the listdlg function is closed after selecting the data. Can the function be manipulated so that selecting, plotting and clearing figure is possible until everything is closed? It should also be possible to work in the 2nd figure (zoom, save etc.), i.e. this figure should be in the foreground.

Thanks for your help.

Don't modify LSTDLG, write your own GUI:

Make a professional interface, not some primitive one with things like listdlg. Use App Designer. See

App Designer... best decision I could have made.

Thanks very much.
