Hi, folks,

I need your help!

Do you know how to write a GUI program in MATLAB that can
implement a function, which enables the user to drag one
object from one window to another window?

Thanks a lot!

Jiankang

I would try using the figure WindowButtonDownFcn to detect
the mouse press and figure out which object was being picked up,
and then I would use the figure WindowMotionFcn to detect
the motion and use it to draw the feedback image to show the
object was being dragged; then WindowButtonUpFcn to detect
which figure you are now on. Once you know the source and
destination figures, you can set() the Parent of the object
to be the new figure.
