How to make a button visible in GUIDE?

Hi,

I am using Matlab 2012a and I've been trying to make an edit box visible/invisible in GUIDE.

I've tried the following sentence but it doesn't work : set(hObjet,'Visibility','off')

Thank you!

Please explain, what "it doesn't work" explicitly means: do you get an error message, does nothing get invisible, or the worng object? Perhaps you only forgot a "c" in the fieldname?

The error message should enlight you.

Set(hObject, 'visible','off')

Thanks!

Answer 2

set(hObject, 'visible','off');

Will only work if you are int he callback from that pushbutton. Otherwise hObject will be a handle to the caller object. It is safer and a better practice to use:

set(handles.pushbuttonx,'visible','off');

Where 'pushbuttonx' is the 'Tag' of the oushbutton you wish to make invisble.

Ok, thank you, I didn't really understand what was in hObject. Thank you!
