function hideorshowcontrols(value,turn);
%This function turns on or turns off controls with the specified
%value in the 'UserData'.
%Place his function in your figure.m and insert the numbers in 
%uicontrols section ('Userdata') which will indicate connections
%between tabs. Click on uicontrol>>Property Inspector>>Userdata>>set value
%EXAMPLE:
%to turn off desired controls with the 'UserData'=[22; 213 ;25 ;214; 217; 2]
%turn off all uicontrols with '2' :        hideorshowcontrols(2,'off');  
%turn off all uicontrols with '21':        hideorshowcontrols(21,'off');
%turn off only uicontrol '213'    :        hideorshowcontrols(213,'off');
%turn on only '2'                 :        hideorshowcontrols(20,'on');
%turn on all except '22' and '2'  :        hideorshowcontrols([21 25],'on');
