Change positions of specific compoent based on conditions

Hey Guys,

So I want change the position of component such as list box and edit text. I already know how to change the positions but I want to change it based on conditions like if a certain item is selected from a different list box then it will go up y units and then it could go up another y units when an item is selected from another list box. But not allowing each selection from each list box to interfere with each other.

Since I am using GUIDE.... I am think of setting up like

if (conditions met)
    set(handles.listbox,'Position',[(current) (current + y) (current) (current)]);
elseif (opposite conditions met)
    set(handles.listbox,'Position',[(prev/origin) (prev/origin) (prev/origin) (prev/origin)]);

some where else in the code for a different list box

if (conditions met)
    set(handles.listbox,'Position',[(current) (current + y) (current) (current)]);
elseif (opposite conditions met)
    set(handles.listbox,'Position',[(prev/origin) (prev/origin) (prev/origin) (prev/origin)]);

%prev - previous value
%origin - original value
%current - current value

Now the only problem is I do not know how to set these numbers to be as dynamics as I want it to be.

Use the handles variable to carry around your values. In the opening function, do:

handles.origin = .....
handles.prev = handles.origin

Then, every time you change position, you'll have to set:

handles.current = ... 
handles.prev = handles.current

What do you mean by working with each other?
