[Guide] Pass a variable between two functions using handles.

Hello Everyone,

I am incurring error in passing a variable between two functions.

In 1st Function (PushButton):

Where variable (myTable_Selection) is present. i have done following:

myTable_Final.handles = myTable_Selection
guidata(hObject, handles)

But I am unable to recall this variable in another function (PushButton).

myTable_Final = myTable_Final.handles; % Line 515

Error is:

Undefined function or variable 'myTable_Final'.

Error in PFT_GUI>exp_selected_Callback (line 515)
myTable_Final = myTable_Final.handles;

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95)
        feval(varargin{:});

Error in PFT_GUI (line 42)
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

Error in
matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read>@(hObject,eventdata)PFT_GUI('exp_selected_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)) 
Error while evaluating UIControl Callback.

Note: I am able to pass all other variables except this myTable_Selection.

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Regard,s

Each callback function has its own workspace, separate from the rest. Creating a variable in one doesn't automatically create it in others. To share data between those workspaces use one of the techniques illustrated on this documentation page.

The technique you attempted:

myTable_Final.handles = myTable_Selection
guidata(hObject, handles)

looks like the "Store Data Using the guidata Function" approach, but your first line did not affect the handles struct in the workspace of that callback. Something like this should work and should allow you to access the selection in the other callback function's workspace using handles.Selection:

handles.Selection = myTable_Selection;
guidata(hObject, handles)

I see, Thank you Steven Lord, for the clarification :-)

It works :-)
