move (External Interfaces/API)

Move and/or resize an ActiveX control in its parent window.

Syntax

move(h, pos)

Arguments
h
A MATLAB ActiveX control object.

pos

A position.

Returns

The current position.

Description

move(h, position) moves the control to a new position;
position = move(h) returns the current position.

Example

This example moves the control.

h = actxcontrol('MWSamp.mwsampctrl.1');
    move(h, [100 100 200 200]);
    pos = move(h);  % pos should be [100 100 200 200]

This example resizes the control to always fill the figure. Execute the following in MATLAB or in some M-file:

f = figure('Position', [100 100 200 200]);
h = actxcontrol('MWSAMP.MwsampCtrl.1', [0 0 200 200]);
set(f, 'ResizeFcn', 'resizectrl')

Create the script resizectrl.m that contains

% Get the new position and size of the figure window
  fpos = get(gcbo, 'position');
% Resize the control accordingly
  move(h, [0 0 fpos(3) fpos(4)]);
