MATLAB: How to position a GUI window the same place and size where it was closed

guiposition;size;window

Running the GUI every user puts the GUI window to different places, as it is convenient for them (especially if they have several screens). But it opens at the same place all the time. Is it possible to position the GUI window the same place where it was closed? Also the size would be useful to keep.

Best Answer

In the GUI's close or delete function:
% Documentation seems to indicate you *have* to call addpref before setpref
% the first time, but my experience says not
setpref('MyGUIName','DefaultPosition',handles.figMyGUI.Position);
EDIT: In the GUI's OutputFcn: Original text: Then in the GUI's opening function:
if ispref('MyGUIName','DefaultPosition')
  guipos = getpref('MyGUIName','DefaultPosition');
  handles.figMyGUI.Position = guipos;
end
These preferences should be user-specific, so shared machines shouldn't cause problems. You could add a questdlg in the close/delete function to ask if they want the position stored for next time.
