Yair, Thanks for the reply. You are right, sorry I meant .m (and not .mat). No, Actually I passed the hObject and eventData correctly, but my problem was that I was using a slightly wrong syntax when setting the callback property of my object (object X). I could finally fix it by using the below syntax and now it works.

set(handles.ObjX,'Callback',@(hObject,eventdata)ObjX_Callback(hObject,eventdata,handles));

Thanks again for your time and the great tool!

@Negs – first, I assume you mean MyFunction.m, not MyFunction.mat (MAT files contain data, not code). In answer to your question, I assume that you did not define MyFunction() as a function that receives 2 input arguments, as all UI callbacks functions must be defined (first input arg is the clicked object handle, the second input arg is an event data object/struct). Sommething like this:

function MyFunction(hObject, eventData)

As for the ClickOnTab function, I once left the ClickOnTab function (as it was) in the main GUI mat file and got the following error. I also tried to move ClickOnTab to my previously defined function (MyFunction.mat) and got the same error. Finally, I tried to define a separate .mat file for function ClickOnTab, but got the same error. All of these scenarios resulted in the following error. I’m not sure how to fix this problem.
Error:
Error using MyFunction
Too many input arguments.
Error while evaluating Axes ButtonDownFcn

Note that I don’t get this error when I run my original GUI. The error appears only when I click on one of the tabs.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure that your figure tag is “registration”? Please check it doing steps from this image: http://wfatoolbox.com/img/answer-check-figure-tag.png

I am trying the code as provided, when i change the ‘SimpleOptimizedTab’ to my figure name, but it still shows reference to non-existent field ‘registration’. My figure name is ‘registration’. Can you help me figure out the problem?

Thank you.
Sean

Feel free to use it. It also be great if you will be able to notice somewhere that “GUI Tabs was built with help of WFAToolbox Team (http://wfatoolbox.com)”, but it is up to you.

Thank you for your answer. I have now incorporated your ingenious tab code into my GUI. I would like to publish my software in the future, what is your policies regarding this.

Hello, Mosawi!

Thank you for your question! In the code from the article uses a figure named “SimpleOptimizedTab”, so you should change that name to your figure’s name. Also we can suggest you to take the SimpleTabPanel code and GUI and add there your code, than vice versa.

I am trying to embed the tab code into my existing GUI. I am getting the error: Reference to non-existent field ‘SimpleOptimizedTab’. I analyzed your code and there is indeed to reference to the field. How come it only asks for the reference upon embedding in an existing GUI? and can this problem be fixed?

Thank you
Mosawi

@Stephan – again I reiterate: IB-Matlab does NOT contain any GUI. It is a pure Matlab function without any GUI. Perhaps you’re referring to some GUI program that is using IB-Matlab – IB-Matlab itself has no GUI.

Anyway, to get realistic-looking tabs you can use Matlab’s uitabgroup and uitab functions.
