Easy (for others) Matlab move activex problem.

[USN2ENG]

Hi,

I am trying to hide the activex control in my GUI by moving it out of sight. I am new to this and have been searching with no avail. I have tried:

g = actxcontrol('WMPlayer.OCX.7', [16 242 714 321]);
g.move([20,160,100,100])

but it just creates another wmv looking file and places it in that position and doesn't move the actual activex that I am trying to move. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I don't know know if I need to use a handle, or even what that would be since it doesn't let me create a function...

any help would be GREAT!

Hello,

I understand that you are trying to hide an activex control in your GUI by moving it out of sight. It seems like you are on the right track by using the "move" function, but it's important to make sure you are using the correct handle for the activex control.

First, you will need to retrieve the handle for the activex control by using the "findobj" function. This will allow you to specify the control's name or tag, and return the handle for that control. Once you have the handle, you can use the "move" function to move the control out of sight.

Here is an example code:

% Retrieve handle for the activex control
h = findobj('Name','WMPlayer.OCX.7');

% Move the control out of sight
move(h, [1000,1000,100,100]);

This should move the control to a position that is out of the visible area of the GUI. If you have any further issues, please let me know. Good luck!
