I'd like to know if there's a way to open a std email window by clicking on a Push Button... I'd like to set it like an email-link...

Can anyone help me? Thanks you all!

What is 'a std email window'? As far as I know, there are dozens of application that can handle email.

I want to set a Push Button for sending email... I found the sendmail function, but I don't know how to put it in my code... any ideas?

See the documentation for web()

       web mailto:email_address
          uses your system browser to send mail.

(It doesn't work for me, but I am not working on Windows and I haven't configured email on the system I run MATLAB on.)

I inserted the code in my callback, setting it as you wrote, and it works! I'm using Windows and it opens MS Outlook!

Thanks so much!
