Problem with FONTSIZE on inputdlg

HI.

my problem is that when my font size is bigger than some value, inputdlg function cut vertically the font as you can see in the function.

But is not possible for Matlab to resize vertically the window that inputdlg creates.

How can i solve this problem ?

What you need to do is take a copy of the code, renaming it to a different function, and edit the line

TextInfo.FontSize           = get(0,'FactoryUicontrolFontSize');

to become

TextInfo.FontSize           = get(0,'DefaultUicontrolFontSize');

After that, in order to change the font size, just before calling inputdlg(), use

oldsize = get(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize');
set(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize', SIZE_YOU_WANT);

then call inputdlg(), and then

set(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize', oldsize);

Hi Mr. Walter. Thanks you for your reply.

Some point are not very clear.

when you say "take a copy of the code" , does you mean to make a copy of inputdlg function to edit ??

"After that, in order to change the font size, just before calling inputdlg()," does you mean the edited inputdlg ??

"set(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize', oldsize);" to restore the previous value as "TextInfo.FontSize = get(0,'FactoryUicontrolFontSize');" correct?

Yes, copy inputdlg.m into your own directory, but give it a different name, like

my_inputdlg

and edit that. You would invoke that function instead of the built-in inputdlg()

Example:

SIZE_YOU_WANT = 14;
oldsize = get(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize');
set(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize', SIZE_YOU_WANT);

inputs = my_inputdlg(Appropriate Parameters);

set(0, 'DefaultUicontrolFontSize', oldsize);

The only change between inputdlg.m and my_inputdlg.m would be changing the name of the function inside the file, and changing FactoryUicontrolFontSize to DefaultUicontrolFontSize in one place.

i have already made the modification but there was this error :

"Unrecognized function or variable 'getnicedialoglocation'.

Error in myinputdlg (line 322)

set(InputFig,'Position',getnicedialoglocation(FigPos,get(InputFig,'Units')));

Error in tipo3A (line 122)

lk = myinputdlg(prompt,dlgtitle,dims,definput,options)"

seem that matlab lost a link with an inside function of my inputdlg modified

[Walter Roberson]

Copy toolbox/matlab/uitools/private/getnicedialoglocation.m to a directory named private in the directory you stored myinputdlg

You might need to copy some other functions as well.
