How to get and set handles of GUI1 in GUI2 (GUI1 and GUI2 are stored in a different folders)

Hi everyone.

my question is:

I have for exemple to GUIs(GUI1 und GUI2). in every GUI there are so many figures(edittext ,Text, Pushbutton,...). what I want is, to have a ability to access to every figure of any GUI (for exemple handles.edittext1 from GUI1) in another GUI(for exemple GUI2). Note: the GUI1 and GUI2 are in a different folders

I use MATLAB R2017b

Hello Joe!

I think you'll find the example for sharing data between GUIs at the following page helpful:

You can also take a look at the following video tutorial discussing this subject:

hello Sarah!

thank you for your help.

this is how i solve it

function push_buttonGUI2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

% this is a button inside a GUI2

% Run GUI1

 GUI1 % run GUI1

 % Get the tag of the object to be able to access on it 

 h=findall(0,'tag','edit_TextGUI1'); % let say edit text in GUI1

% set a number/name inside edit text of GUI1

 set(h,'String', ' I can controll you now :)');

% get the Content

 Content = get(h,'String');

 % Get the tag of selected_file (pushbutton) to be able to access on it 
 g_m=findobj('tag','push_buttonGUI1');

 % Get handles of  GUI1 
 gd_m=guidata(g_m);

 % click on the button of GUI1 from GUI2
 GUI1('push_buttonGUI1_Callback',gd_m.selected_file,[],gd_m);
