Is it possible to have multiple waitbars in nested FOR loops in MATLAB 6.5 (R13)?

Using the WAITBAR function, I would like to have multiple waitbars in nested FOR loops. I would like to know if there is an example of how to do this.

The code below is an example of creating multiple waitbars in nested FOR loops.

% Create bar for outer loop

h1 = waitbar(0,'I waitbar Please wait...');

for i=1:100

      % Create bar for inner loop

      h2=waitbar(0,'J waitbar Please wait...');

      % Change position of second bar so the is not overlap

      pos_w1=get(h1,'position');

      pos_w2=[pos_w1(1) pos_w1(2)+pos_w1(4) pos_w1(3) pos_w1(4)];

      set(h2,'position',pos_w2,'doublebuffer','on')

      % Scroll through first waitbar

      for j=1:100

          waitbar(j/100,h2)

      end

     % Scroll through second waitbar

      waitbar(i/100,h1)

      % Close first waitbar, recreate in each iteration of outer loop

      close(h2)

end

% Close final waitbar

close(h1)
