yes of course

function MBA_MainForm_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
% This function has no output args, see OutputFcn.
% hObject    handle to figure
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% varargin   command line arguments to MBA_MainForm (see VARARGIN)
if(isempty(varargin))
    handles.MainCtrl = CMBAMainCtrl();
else
    handles.MainCtrl = varargin{1};
end
% Choose default command line output for MBA_MainForm
handles.output = hObject;
% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles);
% UIWAIT makes MBA_MainForm wait for user response (see UIRESUME)
% uiwait(handles.figure1);

list = handles.MainCtrl.GetProjectList();
if(~isempty(list))
    set(handles.PrList, 'String', list);
end
prj = handles.MainCtrl.LastProject;
if(~isempty(prj))
    if(isempty(varargin))
        close;
        MBA_ModuleForm(handles.MainCtrl);  // the error is on this line
    else
        set(handles.CfgName, 'String', prj.CfgName); 
        set(handles.WdPath, 'String', prj.FolderName,'HorizontalAlignment','left'); 
        [a,b,c]=fileparts(prj.SwarFile);
        set(handles.SwarFile, 'String', [b,c],'HorizontalAlignment','left'); 
        [a,b,c]=fileparts(prj.YedarFile);
        set(handles.YedarFile, 'String', [b,c],'HorizontalAlignment','left');

error text :

Please, post the full text of the error message. Everything in red. In particular, we need to see the bit that tells us which line is actually throwing the error.

[stephane teiguim]

the full error is :

Error: Functions cannot be indexed using {} or . indexing.

Error in MBA_MainForm>MBA_MainForm_OpeningFcn (line 106)

MBA_ModuleForm(handles.MainCtrl);

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 220)

feval(gui_State.gui_OpeningFcn, gui_hFigure, [], guidata(gui_hFigure), varargin{:});

Error in MBA_MainForm (line 71)

gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

[Guillaume]

Thanks. This is puzzling since the line that is causing the error cannot actually throw that error. I suspect that the error is actually inside the MBA_ModuleForm function which for some reason makes a call throwAsCaller so that the error appears on the calling line.

Can you share the code for MBA_ModuleForm?

[stephane teiguim]

Yes the error came from MBA_ModuleForm , on my first comment i posted a part of a code of MBA_ModuleForm be cause the script is too long, it take 639 line.

Do you always want that i share it there?

[Guillaume]

You've posted part of MBA_MainForm, but the error appears to come from MBA_ModuleForm.

But yes, it would be useful to have the full code. Attach the m file to the question.
