Hi I have a question about 'callback' function

Hi, everyone.

I'm programming a code with GUI controller.
Now I just understand how to create GUI using uicontrol and uitext.
I would like to extract variables that I defined in sub function connected by call back function

For instance,

hw.load_session_PB = uicontrol('Style','Pushbutton',...
    'Position',[190, 350, 200, 60],'Fontname','Times New Roman',...
    'FontSize',16,'String','Load Previous Results',...
    'Visible','off');
set(hw.load_session_PB,'Callback',{@load_session_fn,hw});

function hw = load_session_fn(~,~,hw)
        hw.load_Data = 1;
end

From the above code, I would like to get 'hw.load_Data' in my workspace window.
It seems that the sub function is not able to return any defined variables.
Could you help me to get the variable in the workspace window?

In general, you shouldn't be passing variables around via the base workspace
in a GUI; only have the output from the GUI returned to the base workspace.

To pass data amongst the callbacks in your GUI, use the techniques described
in this section of the documentation:

Hi,
      If you want to have the variable at workspace, you can use 'assignin'. It is not clear why you need that. Also what do you mean by
