How to get callback when axes get focus

I have multiple axes on the same figure and a set of uipushtool buttons on a figure toolbar. When the user clicks different axes I want the state of the buttons to reflect that appropriate for the active axes (ie like the built-in buttons do; legend, colorbar etc). I can't find a callback function for when the axes get focus. Does this exist, or is there an alternative way of updating ui controls linked to axes?

What about the ButtonDownFcn of the axes?

Thanks for the suggestion Jan. I find that using ButtonDownFcn on the axes doesn't get the callback if the user clicks on a object when changing between axes, hence it often gets missed. I could also add callbacks to all the objects, but this seems over complicated.
