MATLAB: Don’t uibuttons have ‘normalized’ coordinates

uibutton

The old, "Guide-type" uicontrol-buttons had the very handy 'Units','Normalized' -property, which allowed you to specify their size in normalized coordinates according to your present screen size. The new uibutton-buttons don't have this property – their size has to be given in pixels. This seems strange and inconvenient to me. Why is this so?

Best Answer

UI buttons made using app designer , have their units set to 'Pixels' by default. And it can't be changed. You can refer to this answer, where a workaround is given using " SizeChangedFcn ".

Enabled property is not valid for Button Group but valid for Button. So, app.Button.Enable = 'off' will work.

%% Create UIFigure
app.UIFigure = uifigure;
app.UIFigure.Position = [100 100 640 480];
app.UIFigure.Name = 'UI Figure';
% Create ButtonGroup
app.ButtonGroup = uibuttongroup(app.UIFigure);
app.ButtonGroup.Title = 'Button Group';
app.ButtonGroup.Position = [282 115 123 106];
% Create Button
app.Button = uiradiobutton(app.ButtonGroup);
app.Button.Enable = 'off';
app.Button.Text = 'Button';
app.Button.Position = [11 60 58 22];
app.Button.Value = true;
% Create Button2
app.Button2 = uiradiobutton(app.ButtonGroup);
app.Button2.Enable = 'off';
app.Button2.Text = 'Button2';
app.Button2.Position = [11 38 65 22];
% Create Button3
app.Button3 = uiradiobutton(app.ButtonGroup);
app.Button3.Text = 'Button3';
app.Button3.Position = [11 16 65 22];
%% Disable all buttons 
app.Button.Enable = 'off';
app.Button2.Enable = 'off';
app.Button3.Enable = 'off';

Also, Button Group has Visible property, so you can hide button group by the following.

app.ButtonGroup.Visible = 'off';

MATLAB: Hopefully simple UIButtonGroup question

After the code execution set off by pushing a radio button, add the code:

set(get(handles.uipanel1, 'SelectedObject'), 'Value', 0);

From a user interface point, it looks like you would be better served by plain old push buttons. Radio buttons in a panel operate like switches - once it's on, to come back to "on" state, it has to be in "off" state first.
