Getting no results from a mouse click when using ButtonDownFcn with imshow

I'm unable to obtain (x,y) coordinates of an image using a mouse click with "imshow". I can do it with "image" but not with "imshow", and I need "imshow". I've seen lots of other posts on this issue, but none of their solutions seem to work, or the discussion is too technical for me.
I have 4 images arranged two by two, and I'm interested in clicking only on the image in subplot (2,2,3). But when I click nothing happens. Apparantly my function "clicky4" is not being called. Here's the relevant section of code:
global x y
.........
Image = single(rgb2gray(FilterRGBImage));
subplot(2, 2, 3);
vv = imshow(Image,'InitialMagnification', 'Fit');
set(vv, 'HitTest','off','PickableParts','none');
% Try to use the mouse to select a pixel
set(gca,'ButtonDownFcn', @clicky4)
And here is my function "clicky4":
function clicky4(gcbo,eventdata,handles)
%This function is supposed to grab the position (x,y) of the mouse upon a click
global x y
v = get(gca,'Currentpoint');
hold on
x = v(1,1);
y = v(1,2);
end
Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I'm a relative beginner at this stuff....

Would ginput(1) or impixelinfo help you?
