Only perform a function when the working dialog is not closed

Hi everybody,

I am creating an Matlab app by Matlab GUI. Currently I have an unresolved problem and I hope someone can help.

I just want to perform a function when someone clicks the icon on toolbar and they have to close that dialog to be able to perform another function.

Thank you for your help

If someone were to look only at your title, they might guess the question is about how to tell whether a window is open or is minimized. That is not what your question turned out to be, but for the sake of anyone who happened to wander across this with that topic in mind:

You can tell whether a MATLAB figure is minimized by checking the figure WindowState property, which is 'minimized' if the window is minimized. If the window is open but docked then the WindowState will be 'docked'; if the window is open and not docked then the WindowState will be 'normal'

Yes, Thank you very much Walter Roberson

See uiwait and waitfor

See also questdlg() https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/inputdlg.html#d126e819840 in particular the option WindowStyle (which is default)

questdlg() opens a traditional figure and uses traditional figure components rather than App Designer.

The documentation for dialog shows the flow of (traditional) components for a modal dialog. You could adapt that flow for App Designer.
