set a blank window in GUI

good Morning, I have a question: I created a program in gui with various edit texts, pushbuttons, static texts, popup menus,listboxes, etc.

When I try to select items for the second time, either the first ones remain written in the boxes(static texts, f.e.) or they remain highlighted, or the values remain in the "memory"..

I just want to "reset" all the properties at the end of the program, so that I can run a new one without the ancient value saved...

Is there a way to do it?

To reset a GUI in MATLAB and clear all previous values from edit texts, static texts, popup menus, listboxes, and other components, you can create a function that sets each component back to its default state. This function can be called at the end of your program or when you want to reset the GUI for a new run.

Here's a general approach to resetting various components in your GUI:

Step-by-Step Guide to Reset GUI Components

1. Identify the GUI Components: Determine all the components that need to be reset. These typically include edit text, static text, popup menus, listboxes, etc.
2. Create a Reset Function: Define a function in your GUI code that resets each component to its default state.
3. Call the Reset Function: Invoke this function at the appropriate point in your program, such as at the end of execution or when a "Reset" button is pressed.

Example Code

Here's a simple example of how you might implement such a reset function:

function resetGUI(handles)
% Reset edit texts
set(handles.editText1, 'String', '');
set(handles.editText2, 'String', '');

% Reset static texts
set(handles.staticText1, 'String', 'Default Static Text');

% Reset popup menus to the first item
set(handles.popupMenu1, 'Value', 1);

% Reset listboxes to no selection
set(handles.listbox1, 'Value', []);

% Reset any other components as necessary
% ...
end

How to Use the Reset Function

• At the End of Execution: Call resetGUI(handles) at the end of your main callback function to ensure the GUI is reset after execution.
• With a Reset Button: Add a new pushbutton to your GUI labeled "Reset" and set its callback to call the resetGUI function.
