Browse option In matlab GUI

HI All, I am very new to Matlab Gui

I am designing GUI,

GUI has Browse Push Button , where User can Type the Path in Gui, Next By Pressing Browse Push button it should root it to exact path given by user, It is similar RUN Dialogue Box In Windows Start.

Can any one Help on this Please?

Please expand on what you mean by "root it".

Is cd() a suitable way to "root" it for your purposes?

[Hussain]

Root it ,means that "refers to" exact path

[Hussain]

Let me Explain in detail GUI which has EDIT test box and Browse button (Push button), what ever we type on Edit test box it should be sucessfully executed after pressing Browse Button,

Its similar to RUN Dailoge Box in Windows

Answer 1

[ES]

yes.. cd should do. on the Browse button's callback, read the value from the text box.

In the Button's callback

TextPath=get(handles.textbox,'string')
try
cd(TextPath)
catch errorE
dis(errorE.message);
end

[Hussain]

Not working , its showing Unidentified Catch

[ES]

catch was merely an add on. Just in case if the cd fails or if someone enters some wrong test in the edit box.

just do the

TextPath=get(handles.editbox,'string')
cd(TextPath)
