MatLab figure date and time static text

Question

checkbox1's callback for date and time:

m=1;
while m==1
m=get(hObject,'value');
txt=datestr(now);
set(handles.datetime,'string',txt);
pause(1);
end

can you please help me to remove the checkbox that if I will push the RUN button the datetime static text will automatically call the date and time.

I used your code and this is how it looks like.

Have a look to this post.

Do a toogle button that have 2 status : Run/Stop. So you will push your button and do

if (get(hObject,'value'))
   set(handles.toogleRun,'string','stop');
else
   set(handles.toogleRun,'string','Run');
end

while (get(hObject,'value'))
   txt=datestr(now);
   set(handles.datetime,'string',txt);
   drawnow;
end

This is the callback for the toogleRun button.

EDIT : So for using the timer instead use that code :

function my_callback_fcn(obj, event)

txt = datestr(now)
set(handles.datetime,'string',txt);

And into your Opening GUI function create a timer and set is callback function to the function you already create.

t = timer('StartDelay', 1, 'Period', 0.1);
t.TimerFcn = {@my_callback_fcn};

So just add start(t) on a button or whatever
