How do we put “MJDimensionPicker” in a “TSdropDownButton”? (As it is in [ View (Tab) –> Tiles (Column) –> Custom (Drop-Down Button)] ). Thanks again for the great articles.

In reply to rohit. I plan to discuss popup forms (a.k.a. "tear-off dialogs") in a future post in this miniseries. Stay tuned :-) In the meantime, you can integrate the underlying MJDimensionPicker control directly in your figure GUI:

jc=com.mathworks.mwswing.MJDimensionPicker(java.awt.Dimension(3,4),1);
jc.setAutoGrowEnabled(true);
jc.setSizeLimit(java.awt.Dimension(5,5));
[jhc,hContainer] = javacomponent(jc,[100,100,180,200],gcf);

Yair,

Great Post..!

How can we add control similar to [ View (Tab) –> Tiles (Column) –> Custom (Drop-Down Button)] ??

Thanks..!

In reply to BY. I plan to discuss positioning, docking and sizing in a near-future post in this miniseries. Stay tuned :-)

Hello Yair,

I appreciate your effort for this series. It really changed my approach to MATLAB UI design. I think on moving from the GUI Layout Toolbox provided by David Sampson to toolstrips once I feel more comfortable with them.

My question is, is it possible to get the handle to the window containing the ToolGroup before or after it is created (i.e. hToolGroup.open()). I would like to use the new WindowState property of the figure window that came with the R2018a. My aim is to display the ToolGroup in fullscreen mode when it is opened.

Or is there any other workaround for this issue? Thank you for your time.

hi Yair
this series about toolstrips is really cool and i appreciate your effort explaining so many concepts about it. Is it possible to customize toolstrips for a simple GUI or this only works for toolgroups?
best
