Thread Subject: passing variables to @function

Hi,

I've a gui with an uibuttoingroup and I want to invoke a
function when a radiobutton on the panel has been seleted.
Now what I've tried is to put the following in the create
function:

set(hObject,'SelectionChangeFcn',@selection_changed);

This works pretty well, but I want to pass some variables
along to the function. In the help I found something like

handle = @(arglist)anonymous_function

When I try to invoke the function like that

set(hObject,'SelectionChangeFcn',@(my_variable)
selection_changed);

and the function callback is like that

function selection_changed(source,eventdata, my_variable)

I get an error message. I also tried this:

function selection_changed(my_variable)

But I always get an error message. So how can I pass
variable along with the function?

Thanks for any help,
Johannes.

You can use this way

set(hObject,'SelectionChangeFcn',{@selection_changed,var1,
var2});


And your function selection_changed is defined as follow

function selection_changed(varargin)

...

In this case, you will obtain

varargin{3} - var1
varargin{4} - var2
