How do I implement Scroll-Bars to scroll through my huge GUI in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)?

I created a huge GUI with GUIDE. To make it more easy to look through the GUI I would like to use Scroll-Bars. Is there a way to do this?

You can do this by following these steps:

1) GUIDE:

   * Create the GUI

2) GUIDE generated MATLAB-Code:

   * Shrink the GUI to a good size and adjust the size of the Scrollbar

   * Create a list of all objects to be moved

   * Save the original positions of the objects in the GUI

3) GUIDE generated MATLAB-Code, Slider-Callback:

   * Get the actual position of the Slider

   * Add the Y-Value to the Y-Value of the object positions

Please Note the following:

1) Slider

   * Units are "characters"

   * The "max" value determines the range of scrolling. This value needs to be high enough!

2) Objects:

   * Units are "pixels"

Please see the attached files which provide this example!

If you need a Scroll-Bar for the X-Axis this could be done similarly.
