Converting double to a handle

When I run the app designer, I keep getting the error

Error setting property 'EditField' of class 'Name0fGui':

Cannot convert double value 2 to a handle

Here is the code

properties (Access = private)
        counter1=0 % Description
        counter2=0 % Description
    end
    
 
    % Callbacks that handle component events
    methods (Access = private)
 
        % Button pushed function: Button
        function ButtonPushed(app, event)
            value1=app.ChestPainCheckBox.Value;
            if value1==1
                app.counter1=app.counter1+1;
            else
                app.counter1=app.counter1;
            end
            value2=app.LuckyDipMaCheckBox.Value;
            if value2==1
                app.counter2=app.counter2+1;
            else
                app.counter2=app.counter2;
            end
            value3=app.AbrosyeCheckBox.Value;
            if value3==1
                app.counter1=app.counter1+1;
            else

            end
            value4=app.UnclemidadaCheckBox.Value;
            if value4==1
                app.counter2=app.counter2+1;

@Maria Paula

There are a few lines of your code that looks like this

app.a(i+1)=y(i);

app.a is an object handle but you are trying to assign a value to the handle instead of assigning the value to the object's property. You probably mean app.a.Value(i) = y(i); There is >1 line of code that needs fixed so look carefully.

Also, this looks fishy for the same reason:

app.b(i+1)=app.b(i);

Try

app.EditField.Value = app.counter1;
app.EditField2.Value = app.counter2;
%             ^^^^^^

If that doesn't fix the problem, please provide the entire error message and point to the line that is causing the error.

It worked. Thank you so much...one more question though...if I wanted the count to change by clicking another check box, how do I do it...because right now, when I change my responses, the counter keeps increasing...am saying how do I fix in a reset component.

[Adam Danz]

First, the 2nd part of the conditionals is unnecessary

if value1==1
    app.counter1=app.counter1+1;
else
    app.counter1=app.counter1; % <--- this doesn't do anything. 
end

"how do I fix in a reset component."

Something needs to trigger the reset whether it's another button or when the counter gets to a particular value. You need to decide what triggers the reset.

When the trigger happens, just reset the counters using,

app.counter1 = 0;

Thank you Adam...you are a life saver...I celebrate you. When the isolation is over...please visit Calgary so I can bring you over for dinner with my family...

Glad I could help!
