Syntax

uiwait(handle)

uiwait(handle, waittime)

handle: Handle of the given figure; Type: scalar
waittime (optional): Specifies the wait time (in seconds) that the code execution will be paused for before checking if the handle is deleted. The default value is 1 second and in this case, the handle is checked every second until the program execution is resumed.; Type: integer

Continuous wait, which pauses the execution until the figure is deleted:

handle=figure('Name', 'Grid Identification','NumberTitle', 'off','position', [500 100 800 700]);
uiwait(handle);

Pauses the execution until the timeout or until the figure is deleted, whichever occurs first:

handle=figure('Name', 'Grid Identification','NumberTitle', 'off','position', [500 100 800 700]);
uiwait(handle, 2);
