@subsubheading Callback Execution

@table @asis

@anchor{XREFuipanelbusyaction}
@prindex uipanel busyaction
@item @code{busyaction}: @qcode{"cancel"} | @{@qcode{"queue"}@}
Define how Octave handles the execution of this object's callback properties when it is unable to interrupt another object's executing callback.  This is only relevant when the currently executing callback object has its @code{interruptible} property set to @qcode{"off"}.  The @code{busyaction} property of the interrupting callback object indicates whether the interrupting callback is queued (@qcode{"queue"} (default)) or discarded (@qcode{"cancel"}).
@xref{Callbacks, , @w{Callbacks section}}.


@anchor{XREFuipanelinterruptible}
@prindex uipanel interruptible
@item @code{interruptible}: @qcode{"off"} | @{@qcode{"on"}@}
Specify whether this object's callback functions may be interrupted by other callbacks.  By default @code{interruptible} is @qcode{"on"} and callbacks that make use of @code{drawnow}, @code{figure}, @code{waitfor}, @code{getframe} or @code{pause} functions are eventually interrupted.
@xref{Callbacks, , @w{Callbacks section}}.


@anchor{XREFuipanelresizefcn}
@prindex uipanel resizefcn
@item @code{resizefcn}: string | function handle, def. @code{[](0x0)}
@code{resizefcn} is deprecated.  Use @code{sizechangedfcn} instead.


@anchor{XREFuipanelsizechangedfcn}
@prindex uipanel sizechangedfcn
@item @code{sizechangedfcn}: string | function handle, def. @code{[](0x0)}
Callback triggered when the panel size is changed.

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see @ref{Callbacks, , @w{Callbacks section}}.

@end table

@anchor{XREFuipanelcategoryCreation/Deletion}
@subsubheading Creation/Deletion

@table @asis

@anchor{XREFuipanelbeingdeleted}
@prindex uipanel beingdeleted
@item @code{beingdeleted}: @{@qcode{"off"}@} | @qcode{"on"}
Property indicating that a function has initiated deletion of the object.  @code{beingdeleted} is set to true until the object no longer exists.


@anchor{XREFuipanelcreatefcn}
@prindex uipanel createfcn
@item @code{createfcn}: string | function handle, def. @code{[](0x0)}
Callback function executed immediately after uipanel has been created.  Function is set by using default property on root object, e.g., @code{set (groot, "defaultuipanelcreatefcn", 'disp ("uipanel created!")')}.

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see @ref{Callbacks, , @w{Callbacks section}}.


@anchor{XREFuipaneldeletefcn}

@item @code{deletefcn}: string | function handle, def. @code{[](0x0)}
Callback function executed immediately before uipanel is deleted.

For information on how to write graphics listener functions see @ref{Callbacks, , @w{Callbacks section}}.

@end table

@anchor{XREFuipanelcategoryDisplay}
@subsubheading Display

@table @asis

@anchor{XREFuipanelclipping}
@prindex uipanel clipping
@item @code{clipping}: @qcode{"off"} | @{@qcode{"on"}@}
If @code{clipping} is @qcode{"on"}, the uipanel is clipped in its parent axes limits.


@anchor{XREFuipanelvisible}
@prindex uipanel visible
@item @code{visible}: @qcode{"off"} | @{@qcode{"on"}@}
If @code{visible} is @qcode{"off"}, the uipanel is not rendered on screen.

@end table

@anchor{XREFuipanelcategoryMouseInteraction}
@subsubheading Mouse Interaction

@table @asis

@anchor{XREFuipanelbuttondownfcn}
@prindex uipanel buttondownfcn
@item @code{buttondownfcn}: string | function handle, def. @code{[](0x0)}
For information on how to write graphics listener functions see @ref{Callbacks, , @w{Callbacks section}}.


@anchor{XREFuipanelcontextmenu}
@prindex uipanel contextmenu
@item @code{contextmenu}: graphics handle, def. @code{[](0x0)}
Graphics handle of the uicontextmenu object that is currently associated to this uipanel object.


@anchor{XREFuipanelhittest}
@prindex uipanel hittest
@item @code{hittest}: @qcode{"off"} | @{@qcode{"on"}@}
Specify whether uipanel processes mouse events or passes them to ancestors of the object.  When enabled, the object may respond to mouse clicks by evaluating the @qcode{"buttondownfcn"}, showing the uicontextmenu, and eventually becoming the root @qcode{"currentobject"}.  This property is only relevant when the object can accept mouse clicks which is determined by the @qcode{"pickableparts"} property.  @xref{XREFuipanelpickableparts, , @w{pickableparts property}}.


@anchor{XREFuipanelpickableparts}
@prindex uipanel pickableparts
@item @code{pickableparts}: @qcode{"all"} | @qcode{"none"} | @{@qcode{"visible"}@}
Specify whether uipanel will accept mouse clicks.  By default, @code{pickableparts} is @qcode{"visible"} and only visible parts of the uipanel or its children may react to mouse clicks.  When @code{pickableparts} is @qcode{"all"} both visible and invisible parts (or children) may react to mouse clicks.  When @code{pickableparts} is @qcode{"none"} mouse clicks on the object are ignored and transmitted to any objects underneath this one.  When an object is configured to accept mouse clicks the @qcode{"hittest"} property will determine how they are processed.  @xref{XREFuipanelhittest, , @w{hittest property}}.


@anchor{XREFuipanelselected}
@prindex uipanel selected
@item @code{selected}: @{@qcode{"off"}@} | @qcode{"on"}
Property indicates whether this uipanel is selected.


@anchor{XREFuipanelselectionhighlight}
@prindex uipanel selectionhighlight
@item @code{selectionhighlight}: @qcode{"off"} | @{@qcode{"on"}@}
If @code{selectionhighlight} is @qcode{"on"}, then the uipanel's selection state is visually highlighted.
