Creating Graphical User Interfaces

The List Box Callback

This GUI does not use the list box callback since the actions performed on list box items are carried out by push buttons (Simulate and store results, Remove, and Plot). However, GUIDE automatically inserts a callback stub when you add the list box and automatically sets the Callback property to execute this subfunction whenever the callback is triggered (which happens when users select an item in the list box).

In this case, there is no need for the list box callback to execute, so it is deleted from the application M-file. It is important to remember to also delete the Callback property string so MATLAB does not attempt to execute the callback. You can do this using the property inspector:

See the description of list box triggering for more information.
