Set a pull down menu

The user inputs certain values in one GUI and is then taken to another GUI that will graph results. The second GUI also has a pull down menu of information so that the user can manipulate the graph. I want to be able to set the pull down menu to a specific option in the opening function depending on what is chosen in the first GUI. Is there any way to do this?

Do you mean that you want to check or uncheck a menu item? What exactly does "set the pull down menu to a specific option" mean to you?

Melanie - see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/146215-pass-data-between-gui-s for an example on how you can pass data between two GUIs. In this case, you want your second GUI to be able to get data that has been set in the first so that you can determine how to populate a pop-up menu.
