How to create a uipanel in GUI without guide?

I am trying to add a uipanel in a GUI without guide with the following code:

function simpleGui
handles.fig=figure('position',[50 50 1350 600])
handles.uipanel3=uicontrol('style','uipanel','position',[10 10 100 40],'string','Panel');

But I get the following error:

Error using uicontrol 'uipanel' is not a valid value. Use one of these values: 'pushbutton' | 'togglebutton' | 'radiobutton' | 'checkbox' | 'edit' | 'text' | 'slider' | 'frame' | 'listbox' | 'popupmenu'.
Error in simpleGui (line 3) handles.uipanel3=uicontrol('style','uipanel','position',[10 10 100 40],'string','Panel');

Thank you for your help.

The uicontrol help page does not mention uipanel anywhere as being a Style option.

Using [a major internet search engine] returns this page as the first result:

If you want to create a panel, you need to use uipanel() function. Try

handles.fig=figure('position',[50 50 1350 600])
handles.uipanel3=uipanel('position',[0.1 0.1 0.5 0.4],'Title','Panel');

Also, note that by default the uipanel() use normalized units.

You can use GUIDE's successor, App Designer.
