How to move from one gui page to another by clicking push button?

hi,I am new to matlab.I have a problem.I have created a simple gui page in matlab, it has a next button. Now I want to go to the next gui page by clicking on this button, such that first gui closes and next appears. What should I code in the callback? Do I need to use uicontrol? What exactly in the uicontrol?

something like this:

uicontrol('style','push','call','figure(''s.fig'',''new Figure'') close(gcbf)');

however this doe not seem to work..:(

Maybe your are looking for something like this Multiple Tab GUI

Is there anything else that I can do? I want to move from one page to next,is it very difficult in matlab?

[Paulo Silva]

If you really want to call another GUI and close the one you are at the moment you just need to put in that button callback

s %name of the GUI to open

close(handles.figure1) %to close the old GUI

[Paulo Silva]

uicontrol('style','push','call','s;close(handles.figure1)')

[Matt Fig]

That second approach won't work as callback strings are evaluated at the command prompt. If using a string, use:

uicontrol('style','push','call','s;close(gcbf)')

Thanks Matt Fig, I should have tested the code

I'm getting this error can you help me with this?

Undefined function or variable 'welcomepage'.

Error in matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read>@(hObject,eventdata)welcomepage('pushbutton1_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)) Error while evaluating UIControl Callback.

even i want to implement the same concept but stuck with this error!!

I do this for things like help windows:

1. Set the 'Tag' property in each window
2. In the callback, use findobj to find the handle to the desired tag
3. Check to see that it actually exists
4. If so, use figure to make it active

Sample callback:

function showhelp(hObject,eventdata)
   h_help = findobj('Tag','RCChelp');
   if (isempty(h_help))
      % Do something here -- window doesn't currently exist
   else
      figure(h_help);
   end
end

You could simplify all this to figure(findobj('Tag','xxxx')), if you wanted to inline it.

+1 vote, that's a good example on how it should be done :)

With R2014b you now have tabbed panels: http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/matlab-graphics/ : "Create user interfaces with tab panels with uitabgroup and uitab functions."

Could you tell me how you set up your next button? I am trying to do something similar.
