dialog - Create and display empty dialog box
Syntax
h = dialog('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
Description
h = dialog('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...) returns
a handle to a dialog box. The dialog box is a figure graphics object
with properties recommended for dialog boxes. You can specify any
valid figure property value except DockControls,
which is always off.
The properties that dialog sets and their
values are
| Property | Value |
|---|
| 'BackingStore' | 'off' |
| 'ButtonDownFcn' | 'if isempty(allchild(gcbf)), close(gcbf), end' |
| 'Colormap' | [] |
| 'Color' | DefaultUicontrolBackgroundColor |
| 'DockControls' | 'off' |
| 'HandleVisibility' | 'callback' |
| 'IntegerHandle' | 'off' |
| 'InvertHardcopy' | 'off' |
| 'MenuBar' | 'none' |
| 'NumberTitle' | 'off' |
| 'PaperPositionMode' | 'auto' |
| 'Resize' | 'off' |
| 'Visible' | 'on' |
| 'WindowStyle' | 'modal' |
Note
By default, the dialog box is modal. A modal dialog box prevents
the user from interacting with other windows before responding. For
more information, see WindowStyle in the MATLAB Figure Properties. |
The default ButtonDownFcn, if
isempty(allchild(gcbf)), close(gcbf), end, causes the dialog
to terminate itself when clicked as long as it contains no child objects.
Replace it with another callback or an empty callback if you do not
want this behavior. You can do this only from a script or function
if the dialog is modal (the default WindowStyle).
Any parameter from the figure function
is valid for this function.
