Is It possible to create a GUI within a GUI?

Is it possible to create another GUI from within the callback function of an existing GUI?

Not sure what you mean by this. You can launch a second app by pushing a button - just put the name of the second app in the callback function of your button. The second app could be it's own GUI totally different than the one that launched it.

Or you can have a difference set of controls on your GUI by using the tabbed panel control available now in R2014b. You'll need to upgrade if you want tabbed control and don't have the latest version.

Or you can "create" your own within your first app by having your first app call functions like figure() and uicontrol().

Or in R2014b, use uitab-s to have tabbed browsing. This is the approach I've been taking personally.

Yeah, that's what I meant though maybe I didn't use the right name. So I went to GUIDE to see what it's called and I can't even find the uitab control on the GUIDE toolbar menu of available controls. I'd like to try it but haven't yet. When I do , where on earth do I find it in GUIDE?

Sean - any answer on how we can get a tabbed control in GUIDE?

[Robert Cumming]

@ImageAnalyst - If your interested have a look at my GUI toolbox for creating GUIs with tabs within an interactive ( guide equivalent ) environment.

@Ipsita - this example shows how to create 2 ( the theory works for multiple ) independent GUIs which can also be seamlessly embedded into a larger single GUI with multiple pages (they could easily have be tabs as the images here show. ).
