Best Answer

If your GUI was created in GUIDE(),

open your gui in guide: guide('mygui')
Select tools > GUI Options...
In the "Resize behavior" dropdown box, select 'Proportional'
Save, close
If your GUI is already opened, close it; run your GUI

If your GUI was created programmatically using UICONTROL(),

Set the units of all GUI components to 'normalized (see below)

% h is the handle to the figure hosting your gui
set(findall(h, '-property', 'Units' ), 'Units', 'Normalized' )

If your GUI was created in APP DESIGNER

open your gui in app designer: appdesigner('mygui')
From the component browser on the right, select the main figure (probably on top of the list)
In the UI Figure Properties window below, select 'Resize components when app is resized'.
Save the app; close.
If your GUI is already opened, close it; run your GUI

Now you can maximize the figure and the components should scale to the new figure size.

MATLAB: Appdesigner button group problem

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: Resize in gui.m

I think you're asking how to automatically resize all of the components of a UI panel when you resize the UI panel.

This can be done from the code or from the 'guide' user interface. I'll explain the simplest method.

Open you GUI in guide: guide('myGui')
Hold down the ctrl key and select all elements within the panel.
Right click on one of the selected elements and open Property Inspector.
Change 'Units' to 'normalized'.
Save and exit.
After you re-run your GUI you'll be able to resize the UI panel and all of its components should rescale.

You can do steps 1:5 from the code by setting each component's 'units' property from the startup section of your GUI.
