Thread Subject:

Component Moved

Hi

Is there a way to add something like a
"ComponentMovedCallback" to a figure? Its possible to add
this callback to JFrame. I want to raise an event if the
figure is moving.

jb = JFrame();
set(jb,'ComponentMovedCallback',{@funMove});

Need the same for a figure

f = figure;
set(f,....)


Thanks for your help.

jframe = get(f,'JavaFrame');
% ...and you know the rest

Thank you, I've tried it before, but it did not work.

f=figure;
jb = get(f,'JavaFrame');
set(jb,'ComponentMovedCallback',{@funMove});
% isn't working, because jb is of type
com.mathworks.hg.peer.FigurePanel and not javax.swing.JFrame

Maybe I should try something like this

compl = com.mathworks.hg.peer.FigurePeerComponentListener(???);
jb.addFigurePeerComponentListener(compl);

But with what parameters? It's not documented.


Bye, Rico

ok, the following works:
jf=get(f,'JavaFrame');
jb=jf.fFigureClient.getFrameProxy;
set(jb,'ComponentMovedCallback',@funMove);

note: you don't need {} around your @funMove unless you add
user-specified extra args.

It worked.
Concerning "{@funMove}". I know what you mean, but i'm going
to use some parameters. But thanks for help.

If i run this code, using F5 (means all at once)

f=figure;
jf=get(f,'JavaFrame');
jb=jf.fFigureClient.getFrameProxy;
set(jb,'ComponentMovedCallback',@funMove);

I get this error.

It seems that the figure object is not fully created when
the second line is executed.
It doesn't happen if i step through the code with F9. So far
so good.
Is there a way to prevent this error?

Add a call to drawnow to let the figure time to fully
render. You might also add calls to pause(0.001) to ensure
the main thread relinquishes control. I usually do both.
Complex GUI requires a larger pause. I won't get into the
details of why this happens or what the "proper" way to
solve it is - the important thing is that it works.

Thank you for helping. It's working.
