You could probably just write a wrapper function for setappdata which calls your fcn function immediately after the call to setappdata.
So instead of calling setappdata directly from multiple places just call
setmyappdata( h, name, val )
(but don't name it that, it's just for example!!)
Then:
function setmyappdata( h, name, val )
setappdata( h, name, val );
fcn( args )
You may need to do some other preparation for your call to fcn or use getappdata or whatever it is you need to obtain any arguments your function requires, but that solution should work if I understand what you are asking correctly.
