How to move or relocate the figure window and message box?

Hi,

I have 3 windows

1) Area Information

2) figure 1 with histogram information

3) Input Dialogbox

Here is the snapshot of that. My trouble is that, I couldn't able to move the 1 and 2 windows. I could able to move only window 3.

This is the code I used:

%code for Window1

 regionData=regionprops(imageThresh,'basic');

 minArea=min([regionData.Area]);

 maxArea=max([regionData.Area]);

 message=sprintf('Minimum Area = %d \n\nMaximum Area = %d',minArea,maxArea);

 h=msgbox(message, 'Area Information' );

 set(h,'Position',[350 499 150 70])

% code for window2

 figure('name',sprintf('Histogram Information - %s',baseFileName),'NumberTitle','off');

 hist([regionData.Area],20);

%code for window 3

 prompt = {'Enter Minimum pixel area(default value is 2) - ',...
    'Enter Maximum pixel area(default value is 100) -'};

 dlg_title = 'Max/Min Pixel Area Selection';   

 num_lines = 1;

 def = {'2','100'};

 options.Resize='on';

 answer=inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def,options);

 close;

Is there any method such that I can move all the 3 windows. I means to relocate the windows on the screen using the mouse cursor.

Thanks in advance.

The reason you can only move window 3 is because by default an inputdlg is Modal (i.e. you cant access any other GUI until that one closes.

To change that add the following to your options struct:

options.WindowStyle = 'normal';
answer=inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def,options);
