How to set timer

Hi, how to set timer for a Pushbutton in GUI. Lets say if a pushbutton is pressed and after 5 second it should do "set(pushbutton1.text1,'string','part1')" and let say after 10 seconds it should do " set(pushbutton1.text3,'string','part2')". How do i do this step?

thanks sharmen

You might want to take a look at Matt Fig's http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24861-41-complete-gui-examples. Specifically, "19.How can I use a timer in a GUI? GUI_17 ".

I've looked at it before.. but mine is different.

I want if 5 seconds do PartA

if 10 seconds do PartB

Set two timers at 10 seconds each, with each having its own callback, one starting 5 seconds after the other.

No need for two timers, he can just use the StartDelay argument for the first 5 seconds.

function GuiFun

fig=figure;
GuiButton = uicontrol('Style','pushbutton','String','PushToStart',...
    'Position',[315,220,70,25],...
    'Callback',@StartTimer);

t = timer('TimerFcn',@TimerFun, 'ExecutionMode',...
    'fixedSpacing','Period',10,'StartDelay',5);
Val=1;

      function StartTimer(a,b)
          start(t)
          disp('Timer Started, wait 5 seconds')
          set(GuiButton,'String','Wait')
      end

      function TimerFun(a,b)
        %protection against user closing the figure while timer is running
        if ~ishandle(fig)
            stop(t)
            disp('User closed the figure while timer was running')
            disp('Timer stopped')
            return
        end

          set(GuiButton,'String',['part' num2str(Val)])
          Val=Val+1;
          if Val>3
              stop(t);
              set(GuiButton,'String','End')
              disp('Timer Stop after 2 periods')
          else
              disp('wait 10 seconds')
          end
      end
  end
