Hello everybody,
I was wondering if there was a way to have matlab "push" a GUI button programatically, or in other words execute the bits of code that are normally executed while you push those GUI buttons.
Thanking you in advance.

You can activate the callback function associated with a pushbutton from anywhere within a GUI m-file using:

pushbutton1_callback(handles.pushbutton1,eventdata,handles)

i.e. the user does not need to push the button directly.

If you're talking about a GUI of some external software, assuming you don't have source-code access, I think you can position the mouse pointer then use mouseclick commands to do it - but it'll be quite a ropey and bug-laden solution.
