Thread Subject: how to hide wait bar?

when I use nlfilter in image processing toolbox,
it always shows a wait bar.
how can I hide it, or let the system does not show
it at all?

thx

Hi,
Find the object:
h=findobj(allchild(0),'type','figure','tag','TMWWaitbar');
set visibility to off:
set(h,'vibility','off')
Hope it helps.

I really like the solution we used. We modified the
waitbar function to use some new options.

The idea is to allow the user to turn off waitbars
from outside an application. This way we can do calls
like

   waitbar off

   ...stuff...
   
   waitbar on

so that the user can turn them off temporarily on their
own. We also added the ability to have stacked waitbars.

HTH,
John D'Errico

Well, a cheap way to hide it is to change the color to the background. Not very elegant, but effective,

h=waitbar;
wb1c=get(h,'Children');
wb1c2=get(wb1c(1),'Children')
set(wb1c2(2),'FaceColor',[0.8 0.8 0.8]);
set(wb1c2(2),'EdgeColor',[0.8 0.8 0.8]);

In addition to the other posters' suggestions, if you are just interested in removing the waitbar for nlfilter.m, a very simple solution is just to comment out two lines in the Matlab code:
on line 64:
f = waitbar(0,'Applying neighborhood operation...');
and on line 70:
waitbar(i/ma)

Obviously, something like John's suggestion is a broader-based solution.
