How can I invoke a State button without pressing it manually, but doing it programatically?

Hello,

I have been trying to invoke the state button callback in my program by pushing another button (push button). For example, lets say that I have provided one state button (or check box button: does not matter) and one push button. When user press the state button, some actions are taken in the program. However, I want to do this by not using the "State button" but by using the "push button", i.e. same actions are taken when "push button" is pushed.

I can trigger another "push button" using another "push button" but, when it comes to the callbacks which requires "event", I could not achieve that.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

To my slim knowledge, I wouldn't recommend it to run another callback within one. It could be better if you would wrap the code from the state button callback into a function that you'd call within other callbacks.

Current state

function CallbackFcn1(src, event)
    %some code
end
function CallbackFcn2(src, event)
    %some code as well
end

Wrap your code like this

function HelperFcn()
    %some code
end
function CallbackFcn1(src, event)
    HelperFcn()
end
function CallbackFcn2(src, event)
    %some code as well
    HelperFcn() 
    Make sure you change state value to true either within HelperFcn
    or in body of this function
end

Why should I do this?

the code under the callback functions are quite complicated. So I do not want to repeat the code? Cant i invoke a callback using other callback?

Thanks

I am saying that that complicated code within a callback, put it in a function, and call it that way. You replace the body of the callback with a single line which calls the function.
