    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When an error is thrown during the execution of a uicontrol callback (that
does not contain any syntax error), a "parse error" error message is
displayed:


>> h = figure;
>> uicontrol(h,'style','pushbutton','callback','error(''error msg'');');
>> error: error msg
error: parse error


It seems slightly misleading. In the same context, Matlab displays "Error
while evaluating UIControl Callback".
