I have just uploaded to file-exchange, codes that are supposed to solve the original problem. Here's the link - http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38997 . Basically it uses BUTTONDOWNFCN, alongwith uipanel. Would appreciate to know if the codes are any help to people still interested in the problem.
