using waitbar

I have a waitbar programmed into my code however every iteration through my code it opens a new GUI for it. So for example, my code has 11247 iterations which means by the time the code is done running I have 11247 waitbar figures or GUI's open. I have been trying to make it so only one GUI pops up and then only the loading bar itself updates instead of opening up a new GUI with the updated progess of the iteration bar. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

The best way to get help is to show your code, or at lease a snipit.

In this case your probably using the waitbar wrong. From the help this is how you should use waitbar.

   h = waitbar(0,'Please wait...');
        for i=1:1000
            % your code here %
            waitbar(i/1000,h)
        end

while Error > .1

%lots of code

n=n+1;

progress=waitbar(0,'Running');

waitbar(n/11247,progress)

end

Where n=n+1 goes from 1 to 11247

did you try running my example?

your line:

progress=waitbar(0,'Running')

should be outside the loop. Look at the help to understand why.
