Hi All
I have a guide-GUI that generates figures (of the same size and screen position) that need to be compared sometimes, for which the user can use alt-esc and alt-shift-esc to flick to-and-fro. To avoid the finger judo I have a WindowKeyPressFcn acting on leftarrow and rightarrow for this purpose.
It is hard enough keeping the focus on the GUI window after you start pushing arrows keys; the figure easily loses focus (without the mouse clicking elsewhere at all) and the keypress starts acting in the command window. To solve this I do an emulated mouseclick in the GUI figure at the end of the callback.
The real problem comes in when the user has one monitor, because the figures are big and therefore obscure the GUI so my emulated mouse click doesn't work. Is there a way to set focus on a figure in the background, or better yet an invisible figure? If the callback can work from an invisible figure I can simply use a third key (like escape) to make it visible again.
Appreciating any advice!
