waitfor and checkbox problem

Good afternoon,
I´m having a problem with waitfor.
I have a gui with several checkboxes and I want to wait until a checkbox is selected. I have tried:
waitfor(findobj(gcf,'Style','checkbox'),'Value',1)
I have also tried:
waitfor(gcf,'Style','checkbox','Value',1)
But nothing works. So, can someone tell me something about this please Thanks
Silvia

You don't need to use waitfor(). Your GUI is already waiting for any kind of user interaction. All you have to do is to put the code you want to run when the user clicks on the checkbox into the callback/click function for that checkbox.

Hey, I see you quite active in image processing field and have a vast knowledge in this field, I wonder would you have a look at the post I posted at StackExchange, so far it didn't has any answer yet. Maybe you could give me some opinions/methods that I'm currently unaware of as I'm new to this field. Thanks a bunch!

I suggest that instead you use uiwait() on the figure after having set the Callback for each of the checkboxes to call uiresume() if their Value is 1.

Thank you, I solved the problem using waitforbuttonpress and verifying if one of the checkboxes is selected. But I'll also try with uiwait. Thanks again.
