Tic Toc callback problem

I have a callback function in my code. I have tried to time from outside the callback function to a point within the callback function using the tic toc function. But it doesn't bring in the tic time into the callback function. How can i do this . I have heard about a function called global can bring variables into a callback but i have not managed to get it done with tic toc? Thanks :)

Yes. Look at the documentation for tic. Anywhere in your m-file:

global tic;
tic1 = tic;

Then in your callback code

global tic1;
elapsedTime = toc(tic1);

You can have multiple "Tic"s running simultaneously.

Your question is vague. Hint:

Somewhere

    ...
    global et
    ...
           'Callback', @the_callback_function
    ...

where

    function the_callback_function( ... )
        global et
        tic 
        ... some code
        et = toc;
    end

What i mean is tic is outside the callback function , then the toc part is within the callback . Is it possible to do this without affecting the accuracy? Thanks a lot .
