Passing Arguments from functions in GUI

Hello, I have a problem. When working with GUI for a face detection code, I want to pass the number of faces to another function .The scenario is given below

==========================

%%--- Executes during object creation, after setting all properties.%%

function facedet_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

detectfaces(some arguments);

displayfaces(some arguments);

%%end of face detection calling function

==========================

%%--- Executes during object creation, after setting all properties.%%

function classify_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

disp('Total no of detected faces=');

{ My problem is here. I want to get the value of no of faces from the function displayfaces() and do some calculation, How can I get that done??? }

=======================

%display faces function

function displayfaces(some arguments)

no of faces=xxx;

====================

Please see the FAQ on sharing data between callbacks.

It was actually too complicated for me , so I just wrote the values in a text file in one function, read those values in the required function and deleted it. It was quite simple.
