Hi All
I am writting a program with GUIs and other computations runing nearly simultaneously. After my computation is done, I want to pause the main matlab thread forever. This will let my GUI updating completely without any delay. And then if the GUI or other callbacks want to start another round of computation, GUI can stop the pause(inf) within the callback. I tested several ways to stop pause(inf) from callbacks, including pause('off'), pause(0.1), drawnow etc. But they have no effect! Could anyone let me know how to do this?

Do not do it that way. waitfor() the figure handle instead. The waitfor() will not return until the figure handle is deleted.

waitfor() a handle property to change or to change to a particular value. The GUI would set the appropriate handle property when it was requesting a resumption.
