Breaking from for loop in MATLAB GUI
- by Nick
I have a for loop in the opening function of a GUI in MATLAB and I'm trying to use a callback button to break the loop. I'm new to MATLAB. Here's the code I have:
%In the opening function of the GUI
handles.stop_now = 0;
for i=1:inf
if handles.stop_now==1
break;
end
end
% Executes on button press
function pushbutton_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject handle to end_segmenting_button (see GCBO)
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
handles.stop_now=1;
guidata(hObject, handles);
For some reason, despite defining the variables with handles, the loop doesn't break upon pressing the button. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.
