How to pause a listener(use in a scroll bar)

Hey,

I use the below code to move an annotation line across a plot depending on the position of the slider.

mainbox.hhSlider = handle(mainbox.slider_handle);
mainbox.hProp = findprop(mainbox.hhSlider,'Value');  
mainbox.hListener = handle.listener(mainbox.hhSlider,mainbox.hProp,'PropertyPostSet',@slider_seek);

I would like to cause the listener to not operate unless a mousedown event occurs. Any ideas?

You want to move the slider and delay the update of the display until the next mouse-down event? This sound not intuitive. And to which obejct should this mouse-down event belong to?

why don't you use:

lh = addlistener(sliderhandle, 'ActionEvent',@updateline); ?

this gives you a continuous feedback of the moved slider if the mouse is down (in R2011+ use ContinuousValueChange instead of ActionEvent)
