Access the name of a ui in the code -- Simple question?

Hello!

This may be obvious, but I am writing GUIDE code for a gui, and want to access the name of the ui within the code (for a file name). Is it "handles.ui_name" or something simple like that? GUIDE puts it all through the code, prepending it to, for example, _OpeningFcn.

Thanks!

Double click on your figure in GUIDE. Then go to the "name" property and type in some name for it. Then look at the "tag" property. Let's say you gave it a "tag" property of figMainWindow. Then to get it the name property, do this:

thisFiguresName = handles.figMainWindow.name;
