Appdesigner uicontrol position and resize

I want to know how to control on any computer the app position whatever the screen size.

When I use the guide it was easy I use the following code

scrsz = get(0,'ScreenSize');

scrsz=[scrsz(1)+0.005*scrsz(3),scrsz(2)+0.8*scrsz(4),round(scrsz(3)*0.2),round(scrsz(4)*0.2)];

hfig=figure('Numbertitle','off',...

'Name','Chargement',...

'OuterPosition',scrsz,'Toolbar','none',...

'Menubar','none','Color','k','Visible','on');

then I used the 'normalized' units to fix the position of each uicontrol inside the figure or any uicontrol like this:

a=uicontrol('Parent',hfig,'Units','Normalized','Position',[0.05 0.05 0.9 0.9],...

'Fontsize',12,'String',str);

How can I do such method in appdesigner with uifigure, and uicontrol to be sure that the container inside a uifigure will be resize when I changed the uifigure position

Hi Christophe,

If you're using App Designer app, most of the content (if not all) in the uifigure will be resized when the uifigure is resized. when the option called "AutoResizeChildren" in Position tab is enabled. It exists on components like UIFigure, Group Tab, etc.

Dear Mario, yes I know, but if for instance I change for example in the startupfunction the position of the uifigure, the position (or size) of the inner container of the uifigure didn't change of size...

[I2M]

It is like if the uifigure is not the parent of the container

[Mario Malic]

Can you try changing properties using the dot-notation?

app.UIFigure.Position = [0.05 0.05 0.9 0.9];
% Replace UIFigure with the name of your component

If you're interested to start your app in maximised mode, there's an option for that in UIFigure component - Window Apperance - Window State.

It is what I have already done

scrsz = get(0,'ScreenSize');

scrsz=[scrsz(1)+0.1*scrsz(3),scrsz(2)+0.1*scrsz(4),round(scrsz(3)*0.8),round(scrsz(4)*0.8)];

app.UIFigure.Position=scrsz;

It seems that one way to tdo that is to use the grid layout container inside the figure

It's best if you post your comment as an answer and accept it instead of my answer.
