How to keep figure in focus, no matter what

Question

How do I keep a figure in focus of my system, even when I click on other things, outside of MATLAB? The idea is to 'pin a figure' on top, like an important forum post.

Answer 1

This page illustrates how it can be done.

An example:

First, create the figure:

figure
f = gcf;

Then, use JavaFrame undocumented magic:

fJFrame = get(f,'JavaFrame');
jClient = fJFrame.fHG2Client;
jWindow = jClient.getWindow;
jWindow.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
