Avoid interruptions in the callbacks for several controls

I am building a GUI programmatically. In order to have data consistency, I want that all the uicontrol's don't interrupt a previously running callback function. In order to achieve so, I modify each uicontrol as:

    set(hdl, 'BusyAction','cancel', 'Interruptible','off');

I want to configure all the uicontrol's at once. But there are not default value, like with the Units (DefaultUIControlUnits). Besides, they don't inherit this property from the parent control. Thus, is there any elegant way to do it?

set( findobj( 'Type', 'uicontrol' ), 'Interruptible', 'off' )

It works!! I thought about this solution, but I assumed that it was going to be more time consuming, but it is actually quite fast. Thank you

Callbacks are only processed when the event queue is flushed. There are only a small number of things that can cause this (pause and drawnow). As long as you are careful to never flush the event queue, you won't get any interrupts.

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/callback-sequencing-and-interruption.html

implies interruption even when the queue is not being flushed, but then further down clarifies it to being only when drawnow, figure, getframe, pause, or waitfor are being processed.

Thank you. I indeed have drawnow() instructions.

You can use drawnow('expose') to avoid flushing the event queue while still updating the screen.
