MATLAB: Is there way to detect when a figure has been moved

window repositioned

I'm trying to initiate a function when a user moves the figure. All of the key or button press functions (e.g.. WindowButtonDownFcn) only become active when the mouse click occurs within the figure, not when the mouse is clicked over the Windows title bar when repositioning the figure.

Best Answer

Maybe set up a timer to check the "Position" property of the figure window???

MATLAB: In a callback, how to determine which mouse button was pressed to generate the callback

You can determine which mouse event has occurred by examining the 'SelectionType' property of the figure. The property can take the following values:

1. normal: left mouse button

2. extend: right mouse button on a 2-button mouse;

middle mouse button on a 3-button mouse

3. alt: left+right buttons on a 2-button mouse;

 right mouse button on a 3-button mouse

4. open:double mouse click

For example, you can see the values taken by executing the following:

figure;
set(gcf,'WindowButtonDownFcn', 'disp(get(gcf,''SelectionType''));');

Now click in the current figure to see the values displayed.
