Thanks a lot! This is what I was looking for, works great.

There was another problem - I did not call drawnow() in the infinite 
reading the messages. Took me a while to learn that the UI code is 
single-threaded and drawnow executes the queued callbacks.

Since my callbacks use a lot of pauses and take several secs each, I 
must either run them in a different thread (parallel?) or rewrite the 
code to run the callbacks code interleaved with reading the messages. I 
wonder if people face the same issue and how they tackle it.

Please do you have any idea how to catch the Ctrl+C command from IDE 
command window so that the figure can be closed automatically when 
forced-stopping the script  in IDE?

I very much appreciate your advice and help.

Best regards,

Pavel.
