How to activate the code in a callback from a push button in one GUI from another pushbutton from the other GUI?

Basically, I am doing a delete confirmation pop-up window (not menu uicontrol) when another GUI's delete push button is pressed. What I want is for when the delete button on the regular GUI is pressed, another delete confirmation window is popped up( I understand how to get the pop up window to show up). With that GUI, if the delete pushbutton is clicked, then I want the code to run for the callback for the delete button of the original GUI.

Hi Jacob,

As you are trying to give a pop-up when delete button is pushed, the callback function of the delete button would have been set to creating the pop-up. So, as far as I understand, calling the delete button callback from the pop-up menu will cause a recursive call.

I am posting a relevant example. Please have a look at the following code snippet.

function choice = choosedialog

      d = figure('Position',[300 300 250 150],'Name','Select One');

      popup = uicontrol('Parent',d,...
             'Style','pushbutton',...
             'Position',[75 70 100 25],...
             'String',{'Delete'},...
             'Callback',@popup_callback);

      % Wait for d to close before running to completion
      uiwait(d);

         function popup_callback(popup,event)
            choice = questdlg('Would you like to delete ?', ...   
                              'Choice',...
                              'Yes','No','No');
              % Handle response
              switch choice
                  case 'Yes'
                      disp([choice ' choosen.'])
                      delete(gcf);
                  case 'No'
                      disp([choice ' choosen.'])

              end
         end
  end

Hope this answers your query.
