Appdesigner: Execute callback from m file

Hi - does anyone have any idea how callbacks in appdesigner can be executed from an m file? I could not find an obvious solution. Thanks Joshu

What do you mean, specifically?

appdesigner calls a given callback function; that function can call anything, m-file or not; but the callback function itself has to be the specific one referenced to in the app.

You can't delete the callback function body automagically created when you define there to be a callback function and substitute a free-standing m-file function for it, if that is what you mean -- but you don't need to since you can immediately call whatever m-file that would be.

Thanks for getting back to me. I meant if I have a callback function in appdesigner (e.g. Pushbutton(app, event). How would I execute Pushbutton from within an m-file that is called elsewhere in the app.

Hopefully this makes more sense.

Like any other function syntactically, but there's got be some way to execute the code in which that calling line is in and, AFAIK that'll have got to be tied to some object callback property to get it called.

What end result are you trying to achieve by this?

What you're looking for here is <Events-sending-and-responding-to-messages>. I've never explored doing such so know nothing specific about using them.

thanks for your help - will look into this.
