GUI window is printed to the MS word instead of the plot

Hi,

I am facing a difficulty while saving a figure to MS Word using a GUI. I am opening a matlab figure and then saving it to MS word using a GUI named (MainWindow.fig). The code present within the MainWindow.fig GUI is

        openfig('Fig_Step01_SiteConditions.fig');
        wr.addfigure();

Fuction for addfigure is below

    function AddFigure
        print -dmeta

        % Paste clipboard content
        invoke(hdlActiveX.Selection, 'Paste'); % or Paste(hdlActiveX.Selection)

    end % AddFigure

But instead of the figure named 'Fig_Step01_SiteConditions.fig', it is copying my GUI figure (MainWindow.fig) and pasting it into the MS word.

I tried to get the figure handle but could not suceed.

Aprreciate the help

Regards Karthik

Are the values and type of "wr" and "hdlActiveX" clear?

h = openfig('Fig_Step01_SiteConditions.fig');
wr.addfigure(h);

function AddFigure(h)
  print(h, '-meta')
  [...]
end

just an addition, need to define h as global. Thank you Walter

[Walter Roberson]

h should not be defined as global with that sequence. The point of adding h into the addfigure call was to pass it to the routine.

I am, though, confused about the difference between wr.addfigure and the function AddFigure . Did you do wr.addfigure = @AddFigure or something like that?
