passing data to figures without activating them

[lehmannkai]

Hi,

how can one pass data into an axes object without activating it with 'axes(handle)'. I want to implement another figure, which is on top of the axes figure, which queries data from the user and passes it into the underlying axes figure. However, I always have to activate the underlying axes with 'axes(handle)' in order to use 'plot()' properly. After that my query figure is not on top of course. I have to activate my query figure again which causes nasty blinking effects. Is there anything else I could try???

Regards,
Kai

Try changing the "WindowStyle" property of the query figure to "modal".
