Hello, Let assume there is already a figure open (like a GUI). Before 2014b with gca the handle number returned. Now with gca a new figure will open.
How could I get the current handle of a figure back?
In my special case, I try to get access to a certain axes of an existing figure. Any help avialable?
Thanks!

Christian,
This seems to work fine. Are you sure you definitely have an axes in your figure? gca will only open a new figure with an axes in if you call it and one doesn't already exist.
Try the code below and see if returns 1
f = figure;
a = axes('Parent', f);
g = gca;
a == g
