waitbar2a(x, whichbar, varargin)

Progress bar (waitbar) that can be embedded into a GUI uipanel element and/or decremented.

You are now following this Submission

The standard WAITBAR function (and the improved WAITBAR2 function, which this code is based on) must appear in their own figure windows, and cannot be embedded into a GUI.
WAITBAR2A is a drop-in replacement for either of the earlier functions, that has the additional capability to be initialized with the handle of a uipanel, in which case it draws into that uipanel rather than a new figure, and to be decremented.
