Garuve, one easy way to put a control on top of a panel simply put the panel as the parent.

exampleFigure = figure;
hp = uipanel('Title','Main Panel','FontSize',12,...
             'BackgroundColor','white',...
             'Position',[.25 .1 .67 .67],...
             'Units', 'Normalized');
cb = uicontrol(hp,'style','checkbox','position',[100,100, 20,20])

@Yair: Could you provide an example of doing this (in HG2)? I can’t get it to work (i.e. I don’t know how to put a checkbox uicontrol ‘on top of’ the panel?
Very much appreciated!

@Kusi – no: in HG2 (R2014b) the Matlab uipanel is (finally!) implemented as a true Java Swing component (deriving from JPanel), and the title is implemented as a standard Java titled-border. In other words, it is no longer a separate uicontrol.

Instead, you can simply place a dedicated checkbox uicontrol on top of the panel, you just need to ensure the position is correct and normalized so that it moves with the panel when it changes its size/position.

@Patrick – just do as I suggested, read the link I provided.

Hello Mr. Altman,
i don’t understand. It’s from your own post here.

@Patrick – you used javacomponent incorrectly. Read about the correct usage here: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/javacomponent

If you’d like my consulting help with setting up a scroll-panel and other such advanced GUI stuff, please contact me offline – my email link is at the top-right of this page.

[jPanel,hPanel] = javacomponent(javax.swing.JPanel);
set(hPanel, 'units','normalized','position',[.1,.1,.8,.8]);
hControl = uicontrol('style','pushbutton', 'parent',hPanel, 'string','click me');

I have tried this code with Matlab 2013b and the Panel is empty somehow. I don’t know why.
But my question IS… I want to add an undetermined amount of editboxes and labels to a panel. It can be 1 or 32 or even more.
I don’t want to resize them according to the space because then they would be extremely too small. So i need a Scrollbar.

I thought to use a JPanel and put it in a JScrollpane, but i failed at the first step up there. The jPanel is empty.
Do you know what’s wrong?

greetings

@Ninad – you can try to use property-change listeners.
