MATLAB: “uigetfile” dialog takes the entire screen?

dialogguiguidescreensize;uigetfile

I have a GUIDE gui that calls for

uigetfile

at some point.. up until now the dialog appeared in a reasonable size, but all of a sudden it's taking the entire screen for some reason! I tried to restart MATLAB, even my computer (pc) but it's not working! Any idea why it's doing that? Can it be that I messed around with any of Matlab settings or my main gui's Figure properties or even with my computer setting?

The issue is resolved. It seemed that the computer setting were messed up. thanks

MATLAB: Use “uigetfile” in App Designer

Wow, that's super annoying (I just confirmed it, r2019a). It's happening in the uigetfile() function.

A workaround is to just call your app figure right after the uigetfile() line.

f = uigetfile();
figure(app.UIFigure)

MATLAB: Am I unable to tab to some UICONTROLs in the GUI in MATLAB

This has been verified as an issue in MATLAB when tabbing through the following styles of UICONTROLs:

 pushbutton
 togglebutton
 radiobutton
 checkbox

When the "String" property of these UICONTROLs is empty, the UICONTROL does not appear to have focus. However, note that the UICONTROL actually does have focus, and pressing the space bar will trigger its callback.

Currently, to work around this issue, you can give the UICONTROL a "String" property that is not empty. If you do not want anything to be displayed, you can use spaces.
