MATLAB Central Newsreader - how do I use "SelectedObject" property?

how do I use "SelectedObject" property?

Alejandro — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:38:01 -0400

Hello, I'm using two radio buttons in a button group to select between two different plots, I read the documentation, and I found that I need to use the SelectedObject property of the button group, to let other functions know which element of the group is selected. The problem is that I can't find an example about how to use this property. Can anyone show me an example?

Thanks in advance.

You will get an example if you type 'doc uibuttongroup' on the matlab command line.

same problem for me.

To sort it out I used this syntax :

h=get(handles.Hot_Streams_Order, 'SelectedObject');
HotOrder=get(h,'Tag')

Where: 'Hot_Streams_Order" is the radio buttons group that I used.

Thanks

Moreover, How do I select a button from another function?
I tried:
set(handles.DisplayOptions, 'SelectedObject', [some value]);

Yet I can't know the correct value before running the GUI.

To make things clear, I have a GUI with a group of radio buttons - 'DisplayOptions'.
I want to select a button from another Function within the GUI.

Thanks.

Anyone?
How do I control the selection in a Radio Button Group from another function?
How do I know the selected button from another function?

I couldn't do it using 'SelectedObject' as I don't have the handler value before.

Thanks.
