Hi!
I am trying to add kind of a context menu after LEFT pushing a button on a specific tab of my app, but it seems not to be allowed. Suggestion for a workaround?
function ButtonAddPlotPushed(app, event)
cm = uicontextmenu(app.UIFigure); %
m1 = uimenu(cm,'Text','Menu1');
m2 = uimenu(cm,'Text','Menu2');
m3 = uimenu(cm,'Text','Menu3');
pos = app.ButtonAddPlot.Position(1:2)
set(cm,'Position',pos);
set(cm,'Visible','on');
end
My GUI is something like this:
I need something like this:

Hi,
You could try setting up 'HitTest' property of the Image to 'off' that way your UI could register its clicks and hopefully you could call the contextmenu.

This work for me, hope it helps.
properties (Access = private)
cm % Description
end
function startupFcn(app)
% Create ContextMenu
app.cm.ContextMenu = uicontextmenu(app.UIFigure);
% Create Menu1
app.cm.Menu1 = uimenu(app.cm.ContextMenu);
app.cm.Menu1.Text = 'menu1';
% Create Menu2
app.cm.Menu2 = uimenu(app.cm.ContextMenu);
app.cm.Menu2.Text = 'menu2';
end
function ButtonPushed(app, event)
open(app.cm.ContextMenu ,event.Source.Position([1 2]))
end
