In reply to Collin. @Collin - MorePopup is a Matlab extension to the standard Swing JToolBar so it is not surprising that it does not behave well with non-Matlab components. If you want me to research the issue to see whether a solution can be found, then email me for a short consulting.

Yair, With a MJToolBar's setMorePopupEnabled set to true, non-native matlab components added to the toolbar do not seem to respond when activated from the popup (I guess a jMenu derivative?) that opens when the toolbar is not large enough for all its components. Am I missing something? Collin

Hi all,

would there be posibility to doch a toolbar on the left side (or the right side) of a gui?

Thanks for all your help!
Daniel.

@Yasser – you would need to play around at the Java level. It is possible, but there is no two-liner solution I’m afraid. Send me an offline email if you’d like my consulting help in this.

Hi Yair,

I am trying to build a GUI on Matlab 2012b that has a main toolbar with only three Icons, and other optional tool bars.
the point is, i need the main toolbar width to be only for the three icons, and when i select one of the optional toolbars it should come to right side of the main toolbar NOT under it.

Thanks
Yasser

In reply to Yair Altman.

Excellent!
However, if I have correctly understood, modifying figureToolbarCreateFcn.m is no longer possible in recent versions (I am using 2012a). Is there a new workaround?
Thanks

@JP
How exactly do you adjust the height?
Did you by any chance find a solution for the width?
Thanks!

In reply to Yair Altman. I have a GUI that has an axes that fills the bottom left 1/4 of the window. I would like the toolbar to be directly above the axes, but not spill over into the content on the right half of the window.

In reply to JP. @JP - I don't know of an easy way to reduce the toolbar's width. Why do you wish to do this? To remove the docking icon, simply use the fully-documented DockControls property of the figure:

set(gcf,'DockControls','off')

Yair,
thanks for this, it is extremely helpful. Playing around with the jToolbar properties, I was wondering if there is a way to make the toolbar width less than the width of the window? I can adjust the height using preferred size, but adjusting the width does nothing.

Also, when adding matlab toolbars, it adds the dock button to the right of the toolbar. Is there a way to remove that. It shows up in the list of jToolbar components, but removing it does not seem to work.

Thanks,
JP
