I am building an app in AppDesigner r2021a. I have several plots with custom datatips on different tabs. Everything works great.

However, when I add a WindowScrollWheelFcn callback to the parent uifigure, I am no longer able to see datatips when hovering over points.

Is there anyway around this?

I can recreate this problem using the follow reduced reproduction steps.

app.UIFigure = uifigure(); 
app.UIAxes = uiaxes(app.UIFigure); 
app.Lines = plot(app.UIAxes, rand(5),'x','LineWidth',3);
% Without this section below, datatip interactions work as expected
app.UIFigure.WindowScrollWheelFcn = @windowScrollFcn; 
function windowScrollFcn(obj, event)
    % Scroll wheel controls figure size - for testing purposes
    obj.Position(3:4) = obj.Position(3:4)+10*event.VerticalScrollCount;
end

There is a workaround available starting in MATLAB R2023a where the datatip button in the axes toolbar can toggle on interactive datatips. When the Data Tips button in the axes toolbar is enabled, the WindowScrollWheelFcn is temporarily disabled. It is enabled again after de-selecting the Data Tips button in the axes toolbar and existing datatips are preserved.

I am not aware of a workaround prior to R2023a.

Thank you for your answer - this pointed me in the right direction.

I was able to code a workaround in r2021a based on your description of the behavior in r2023a since the axes where I want datatips and the UI component where I want a scroll callback live on different tabs.

I set a callback for TabChangedFcn to set app.UIFigure.WindowScrollWheelFcn = @windowScrollFcn if I am on the tab where I want that behavior and app.UIFigure.WindowScrollWheelFcn = '' if I want datatips.

A similar workaround should be possible based on mouse position or really anything else, it doesn't have to be selected tab, I don't think, but this let me have datatips and a scroll wheel callback under the same parent UIFigure.

Good idea!

That reminds me of an old answer of mine that might come in handy.

You can use a pointer manager to do something when the pointer enters, traverses, or leaves an object. For example, when it enters axes, it can turn off the WindowScrollWheelFcn and when it exits, it can turn it back on.
