Update the GUI handles structure from inside a callback function

This seems like such a basic problem that there must be an easy solution to it, but I'm new to Matlab and can't figure it out...
I have a GUIDE gui with an axes and draggable points, and whenever a point is moved I need a callback function to make changes to something in the handles structure. I can add a callback function using addNewPositionCallback(), but then the callback function can't see and make changes to outside variables. Therefore, I can't make changes to handles from inside the callback function.
I thought of passing the handles structure to the callback and returning the updated structure as an output... but the callback function apparently can't have any outputs!
Do I make the handles structure global? I don't think that's a good idea though.
Thanks for any help!

After you make your changes to handles you have to update it with GUIDATA;
function my_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
handles.somethingnew = 5;
% Store the value
guidata(hObject,handles);
