I apologize if this is bringing a dead thread back to life, but this seemed the most similar to a problem I'm having. I too would like to use the waitforbuttonpress functionality to select points and regions within a figure, but also have zoom/pan/rotate functionality from the plot tools. However, when waitforbuttonpress is active, as rajko saw, the ButtonDownFcn is bypassed and the pan/zoom/rotate tools (while they change the icon) are unresponsive.

I tried playing with the 'HitTest' property (though I am running R2009b) but am still unable to switch to the plot tools while waitforbuttonpress is active. It seems like there should be a simple solution to this, but perhaps this is more complicated of a UI behaviour than I first thought.

I'm fairly certain you can't do this directly. How would MATLAB know
whether your click was supposed to be interpreted as a request to select a
point or whether you wanted to zoom in on that point?

It's not complicated -- it's ambiguous.
