actxcontrol
2actxcontrol
Purpose Create an ActiveX control in a figure window.
Syntax h =actxcontrol (progid [, position [, handle ...
[,callback |{event1 eventhandler1; ...
event2 eventhandler2; …}]]])
Arguments progid
String that is the name of the control to create. The control vendor provides this
string.
2-34
position
Position vector containing the x and y location and the xsize and ysize of the
control, expressed in pixel units as [x y xsize ysize]. Defaults to [20 20 60
60].
handle
Handle Graphics handle of the figure window in which the control is to be
created. If the control should be invisible, use the handle of an invisible figure
window. Defaults to gcf.
callback
Name of an M-function that accepts a variable number of arguments. This
function will be called whenever the control triggers an event. Each argument
is converted to a MATLAB string; the first argument is always a string that
represents the numerical value of the event that was triggered. These
numerical values are defined by the control. (See the section, “Writing Event
Handlers” in MATLAB External Interfaces, for more information on handling
control events.)
event
Triggered event specified by either number or name.
eventhandler
Name of an M-function that accepts a variable number of arguments. This
function will be called whenever the control triggers the event associated with
it. The first argument is the activex object, the second number represents the
numerical value of the event that was triggered. Note that the second number
is not converted to a string as is the case in the “callback” M-file style. These
values are defined by the control. See “Writing Event Handlers” in MATLAB
External Interfaces for more information on handling control events.
