MATLAB Function Reference

move (COM)

Move and/or resize a COM control in its parent window

Syntax

• move(h, position)
  

Arguments

h
   Handle for a MATLAB COM control object.

position
   A four-element vector specifying the position of the control in the parent window. The elements of the vector are

• [left, bottom, width, height]
  

Description

Moves the control to the position specified by the position argument. When you use move with only the handle argument, h, it returns a four-element vector indicating the current position of the control.

Examples

This example moves the control:

• f = figure('Position', [100 100 200 200]);
  h = actxcontrol('mwsamp.mwsampctrl.1', [0 0 200 200]);
  pos = move(h, [50 50 200 200])
  pos =
      50    50   200   200
  

The next example resizes the control to always be centered in the figure as you resize the figure window. Start by creating the script resizectrl.m that contains

• % Get the new position and size of the figure window
    fpos = get(gcbo, 'position');
  
  % Resize the control accordingly
    move(h, [0 0 fpos(3) fpos(4)]);
  

Now execute the following in MATLAB or in an M-file:

• f = figure('Position', [100 100 200 200]);
  h = actxcontrol('mwsamp.mwsampctrl.1', [0 0 200 200]);
  set(f, 'ResizeFcn', 'resizectrl');
  

As you resize the figure window, notice that the circle moves so that it is always positioned in the center of the window.
