Boris,
The WindowsScrollWheelFcn for the figure is the right thing to use. If
you want the scroll wheel to "operate" multiple sliders, you'd have to
have a way to select which slider to "operate." You could either use
the last slider touched or perhaps use the slider closest to the current
pointer position. In any case, just program the scroll wheel function
to run the same (or similar) function as the slider. It won't be
connected to the slider, it'll just do the same thing. You can have it
update the slider, too, if you want by setting the slider value.
