[EDIT: 20110722 11:46 CDT - reformat - WDR]
In normal way without any gui this works.
fig1= figure;
imshow (Photo)
dcm_obj1 = datacursormode(fig1);
cursor_info1 = getCursorInfo(dcm_obj1);
for i = 1:length(cursor_info1)
SEL_PX(i,:)=cursor_info1(1,i).Position;
end
Now I want to implement same thing with in a gui ! I have a axes named axes_2d.
Fig1 = handles.axes_2d
imshow (photo)
% this doesnot work why ??
dcm_obj1 = datacursormode(Fig1);
it says
??? Error using ==> datacursormode at 138 Invalid figure handle

datacursormode() must be applied to a figure, not to an axes

If you have multiple axes in a figure, then if you are using the default information function, MATLAB will figure out which axes you are on, just the same way as it needs to figure out which line or surface or image you are on or nearby.
If you are using a custom datacursor function, the figure coordinates are going to be passed into it, and you will need to figure out yourself which axes and object you are over, in order to present relevant information (which might include no information if it not over something you want to present information on.) A useful but undocumented internal tool for this purpose is overobj()

Hello,
Instead of
Fig1 = handles.axes_2d;
datacursormode(Fig1);
you should apply datacursormode to the whole figure, here you are applying datacursormode to an axis, hence you get the error which says your figure handle is invalid!
