GUI: Make pannel visible/invisible with buttonpress

Dear all,

I want to make an initially invisible pannel visible on the first button push, and invisible again by pressing the button again... I know this should be simple, but for some reason it is not working out. Here is my code:

     function pushbutton2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
     % hObject    handle to pushbutton2 (see GCBO)
     % eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
     % handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

    if get(handles.pushbutton2,'value') == 0 
          set(handles.uipanel2,'visible','on')
          set(handles.pushbutton2,'value',1)
    end 
    if get(handles.pushbutton2,'value') == 1 
          set(handles.uipanel2,'visible','off')
          set(handles.pushbutton2,'value',0)

    end

Typo: handles.pushbotton2 is not the same as handles.pushbutton2

can you elaborate a litte bit more?

Oh, I fixed this error, still does not work

Instead of setting a value for the button, just retrieve the "visible" property of the panel itself. Check it with strcmpi() and take action based on it's current value to toggle it.

awesome, the strcmpi() worked! I compared the visibility of pannel_1 with pannel_2 ! :)
