GUI refuses to close after starting a loop within it, only closes when I attempt to close MATLAB entirely

16 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to make the GUI for a hydroponics system for one of my engineering classes, I have very little experience with MATLAB, especially so in making GUIs, so I'm trying to tackle problems one step at a time. Right now, that's closing the GUI without waiting forever, as it's making the troubleshooting process way longer than it needs to be.
Every time I try to close the figure by clicking the X at the top right of the window (specifically, after I hit the ON/OFF button at least once), it seems to ignore it. When this is happening, I can't run any new processes in the App Designer or Commmand Window. I can't close the app unless if I try to close MATLAB entirely, in which it won't initially do anything until a prompt appears that says "An operations is in progress. If the operation does not finish in 20 seconds, MATLAB will stop the operation and exit."
I've tried a ton of fixes from other kind of similar cases I've found in this forum, and none of what I've found seems to do anything significant. There's a lot of commented out stuff I have in this code, which is either old code that I've replaced or code that I can't/don't want to use yet. Any idea what could be wrong here or what to fix?
EDIT: also worth noting, this project is due in less than a week. It's been 4 weeks now and I feel like I have almost no progress, I wish I could say it comes down to procrastination. The sooner a response the better, I feel like a sitting duck right now.

At quick glance, it appears that when you press the on/off button the app enters a while-loop and there is no exit to the loop so it continually runs and you cannot interrupt it. Pressing the [x] button to close the app get queued and waits for the never-ending while-loop to end.
Without knowing more about what the on/off button callback function is supposed to be doing, I cannot recommend anything specific. But you could add a flag within the while-loop that can be used to stop the while loop. This idea is described in this answer.
