How to interrupt a callback while it's calling another function?

Hi All,

The callback of a GUI button in my program calls another function (which takes a long time to run). Is there a way to interrupt this callback while that other function is running? It seems like setting 'Interruptible' to 'on' only works within that callback...

Thanks,

Niko

You can set a global variable that the routine checks periodically. See the FAQ for methods to do that: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_share_data_between_callback_functions_in_my_GUI.28s.29.3F

just added some pauses to the other function and it solved the problem... seems like you need to manually introduce some 'intervals' for MATLAB to process that interrupting callback. Thanks for your help!
