Use as follows:
---------------------------------
hcmenu1 = uicontextmenu;
uimenu(hcmenu1,...);
uimenu(hcmenu1,...);
showcontextmenu(hObj,hcmenu1);
---------------------------------
Try test_showcontextmenu.m for usage example.

This also contains a number of trivial routine functions:
getParentFigure(hObject)
%returns hObject's parent figure

getPositionOnFigure( hObject,units )
%returns absolute position of object on a figure

getRelPosition( hObject,units )
%get(hObject,'Position') with specific 'units'

getCurrentPoint( hFigure,units )
%get(hFigure,'currentpoint') with specific 'units'
