Activate toggle button from pushbutton matlab GUI

Good Afternoon All,

I have made a two "tab" GUI which is actually activated by using the visibility settings in a toggle switch of some panels layered on one another. I have tab one "Input" and tab two "Output". When I push the calculate pusbutton on the Input tab I want the Output tab to automatically show without having to physically go to the top and hitting the Output tab.

Does anyone know how to activate the toggle switch within a pushbutton function?

Thanks,

Mel

Set its 'Value' to true and call its 'Callback' to the toggle button's callback:

function exampleTGL
%SCd

      hFig = figure;

      hPush = uicontrol('Style','pushbutton',...
            'Units','normalized',...
            'Position',[0.1 0.1 0.3 0.5],...
            'String','Push Me!',...
            'Callback',@Push);  

      hTog = uicontrol('Style','togglebutton',...
            'Units','normalized',...
            'Position',[0.5 0.1 0.3 0.5],...
            'String','Toggle',...
            'Callback',@tog);  

      function Push(src,evt)
          set(hTog,'Value',true);
          tog(hTog);
      end
      function tog(src,evt)
          disp 'toggled'
      end

end
