GUI help - Possible to have somethings grayed out until needed

Hi, I have a simulator that I have designed that has an intialization file "init.m" to run it. However, I am trying to make it a bit more user friendly and have been creating a gui for it. This is my first time using GUIDE so I am new to it but have been watching and reading tutorials and been picking it up.

I would like to have some items grayed out until somethine else is chosen. For example with radio buttons have

menu 1 = [A B C]

menu 2 is only active only if B is selected from menu 1. Otherwise it is grayed or not visible at all.

Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have small example that may helps you.

You should design a GUI as shown in picture below

And then save your file.

Unfortunatelly, GUIDE does not automatically create SelectionChangeFcn callback for you.

You can create it by right-click uibuttongroup1 and select SelectionChangeFcn from the View Callbacks context menu item.

Then, write this code below in uipanel1_SelectionChangeFcn

switch get(eventdata.NewValue,'tag') 
    case 'radiobutton1'     
        set(handles.uipanel2,'visible','off');
    case 'radiobutton2'        
        set(handles.uipanel2,'visible','on');
    case 'radiobutton3'  
        set(handles.uipanel2,'visible','off');    
end

Don't forget to set the uibuttongroup2 unvisible at openingfcn.

set(handles.uipanel2,'visible','off');

Now, run the code.

Try to select radiobutton2, and uibuttongroup2 will appears.
