How to use the waitbar on the figure with MATLAB 2014b

I´ve used my waitbar on my figure by transferring the data onto it.

    h = waitbar(0,'  ','Visible','off' ); %   
    c = get(h,'Children'); 

    set(c,'Parent',handles.thisfig);  % Set the position of the WAITBAR on your figure 
    set(c,'Units','pixels','Position',[1 2 798 18]);  
     set(findobj(c,'type','patch'), ...
     'edgecolor',[1,0.8,0.4],'facecolor',[0.15,0.15,0.15])
     set(c,'Color', [0.05,0.05,0.05]);
    c.Visible = 'On';

then... with waitbar(x) (0<x<1) I could increase the bar. It doesen´t seem to work with Matlab 2014b. (worked with 2014a)

I´ve tried a lot to get it back to work but no success.

How do I get a waitbar onto my figure with Matlab 2014b?

Thanks!

I've managed to make it work again.

First if you´ve used edgecolor and facecolor, this isn´t working.

I used XColor and YColor now.

then I´ve put my new waitbar into handles:

h = waitbar(0,'  ','Visible','off' ); %   
    % Close the default figure 

      % The child of the waitbar is an axes object.  Grab the axes 
      % object 'c' and set its parent to be your figure f so that it now 
      % resides on figure f rather than on the old default figure. 

      c = get(h,'Children'); 

      set(c,'Parent',handles.thisfig);  % Set the position of the WAITBAR on your figure 
      set(c,'Units','pixels','Position',[1 2 0 18]);  

      set(c,'XColor',[1,0.8,0.4]);
      set(c,'YColor',[1,0.8,0.4]);
       set(c,'Color', [0.09,0.09,0.09]);
      c.Visible = 'On';
      handles.splash_waitbar = c;
      handles.splash_waitbar.Visible = 'On';

in my other File, I use the "Position value" to increase the bar as I want to. while you have to multiply your "waitbar"-expression with the max-width of the bar.

           value = 798 *((step) / (maxstep));
              set(handles.splash_waitbar,'Position',[1 2 value 18]);
