Selective AutoResize Children?

I'm working on a class that adds a component to an app figure and I don't want the component to change size when the figure resizes. Obviously, I could turn AutoResizeChildren off for the figure, but I don't want to do that as I don't know if whomever created the figure wants to keep that behavior. I know if I put the component in a container like a panel,tab, etc it will shield it from resizing, but that doesn't really work in my scenario either. Has anyone figured out a workaround in this situation?

Calling your code will place a widget on the figure window of an app the user built with App Designer I presume? Or are you using GUIDE? Can you set the Units properties to 'characters' instead of normalized? Then your widget won't scale if the user resizes their app's window.

You're correct. I'm assuming non-guide apps.

OK, so is there a units property? Did you try what I said?

I will give it a shot!

Right, so uipanel doesn't have 'character' units if it is created inside uifigure. Only in figure.
