how to save data in one gui to another gui

I have to store the data from first gui to second gui please assist me in devoloping code. The code of first gui is as given below:

function varargout = program(varargin)
% PROGRAM MATLAB code for program.fig
%      PROGRAM, by itself, creates a new PROGRAM or raises the existing
%      singleton*.
%
%      H = PROGRAM returns the handle to a new PROGRAM or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      PROGRAM('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in PROGRAM.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      PROGRAM('Property','Value',...) creates a new PROGRAM or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before program_OpeningFcn gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to program_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
%      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
%      instance to run (singleton)".

What is the difference between this question and http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/263597-how-to-transfer-data-between-two-gui-s ?

Answer 1

[taruv harshita priya]

I have gone through many answers in mathworks and found this very easy and effective way to transfer the handles from one GUI (GUI1) to other (GUI2) without using getappdata and setappdata.

If we want to transfer data from GUI1 to GUI2 upon caller function.

Go to GUI1-> Property inspector -> HandleVisibilty - ON,

-> Tag - Change the name same as GUI stored instead of default name figure, i.e in this case GUI1. Do the same changes for GUI2 properties.

Then in GUI1

GUI2(handles)

In GUI2, using below code we can call the variables from GUI1 to GUI2 and use in GUI2.

handles.variable1=varargin{1}.variable1;
handles.variable2=varargin{1}.variable2;...
