Is there clipping for uicontrol?

What I am trying to do is to is to clip a uicontrol that moves beyond the border of a uipanel.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Nate

Here is some code of what I am doing:

function moving_panel_and_uicontrol

fig_h = figure;

main_panel_h = uipanel(fig_h,'position',[0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5]);
sub_panel_h = uipanel(main_panel_h,'position',[0.25 0.25 0.5 0.5]);
slider_h = uicontrol(fig_h,'style','slider','units','normalized', ...
    'position',[0.8 0.25 0.1 0.5],'min',-1,'max',1,'value',0, ...
    'sliderstep',[0.02 0.1],'callback',@slider_CB);

uicontrol(sub_panel_h,'style','edit','units','normalized', ...
    'position',[0.1 0.1 0.8 0.1])

sub_panel_pos = get(sub_panel_h,'position');

function slider_CB(~,~)
    slider_val = get(slider_h,'value');
    
    set(sub_panel_h,'position',[sub_panel_pos(1) sub_panel_pos(2)+slider_val ...
        sub_panel_pos(3) sub_panel_pos(4)])
end
end

Can't be done as far as i know, but maybe yair altman knows something... he alludes to stacking uicontrols below other objects here http://undocumentedmatlab.com/todo/

One alternative is to draw something like a uicontrol using normal matlab plot objects.
