Thread Subject: rename gui

I just renamed a gui file by using save as in guide, but
after that I get all kind of warnings in the matlab output
window with the old file name.

the warnings are:

??? Error using ==> struct2handle
Undefined function or method 'DIC_gui' for input arguments
of type 'char'.

??? Error using ==> struct2handle
Error while evaluating uicontrol CreateFcn

the old name of hte gui file was DIC_gui.

can anybody tell me whether it is possible to get rid of
those warnings?

Thanks!

Yes, you can use
  warning('off');

However, your gui will not work.

GUIDE generates routines which have a prefix which is the name
of the GUI. Unless you go in with an editor and rename all of
those routines and all the references to them, (and rename generated
files too if necessary) you will have problems with the renamed GUI.

The moral of the story is, "Don't do that!" -- don't rename a GUIDE
GUI by using "save as".

In my opinion you can open 'gui1.fig' in guide and save it
as 'gui2.fig' using 'save as'. Then, as far as I know,
guide will create a new *.fig-file and a corresponding *.m -
file. You cannot just save the 'gui1.m' as 'gui2.m'.
