hy, i got myself a little gui with subfigures ans it would be comforable to lock the main gui figure while a subfigure is still open. is there a way? I tried with uiwait(mymainfigure), but the problem is that i cant call that from the subfigure because i got it in another file unless i call that one with the main figure included which seems not very elegant.
thanks for help

I don't see why that isn't very elegant? Though it's not completely clear what you're doing.

Perhaps it would work to set the window type for the subfigure to be 'modal'. (Note that if you do that, then any menubars or menu items you have added will not be usable.)
You should not be uiwait'ing your main figure: your main figure, when invoking the subfigure, should uiwait() the subfigure.
Or possibly for your purposes, you should just set the main figure to be invisible.

I do not like modal dialogs. I've been too often in the situation, that a modal dialog prevents, that I can use the command window to get an information, which is useful to fill in the dialog.
Therefore I suggest FEX: enabledisable-figure or setting the 'Enable' property of all uicontrols to inactive programmatically.
