Matlab’s statusbar hack only works with non-docked figures. If you need them to work also in docked figures, replicate the functionality using regular panels.

Jan – if you mean the controls in the statusbar, the only controls that change their relative position are the ones that are attached to right (“East”) border, such as the “Next phase” button in my example in the post. If you wish them to remain in the same relative position, attach them to the left (“West”) instead.

Hi
The statusbar will vanished when there exsiting two or more docked figures.
The statusbar needed to be fixed in the container?
May you give me some advices?
Thanks!

Thx
Jan

@anon – see here: http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/setting-status-bar-text

statusbarObj = com.mathworks.mwswing.MJStatusBar;
newLayout = java.awt.GridLayout(2,3);  % 2 rows, 3 cols
statusbarObj.setLayout(newLayout);
...  % add content to the statusbarObj container
rootPane = jFrame.fHG2Client.getWindow;  % See http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/hg2-update#observations item #2
rootPane.setStatusBar(statusbarObj);

Also, I tried your way of making JAVA root frame but it gives error.

RootPane = jFrame.fFigureClient.getWindow;
No appropriate method, property, or field ‘fFigureClient’ for class ‘com.mathworks.hg.peer.HG2FigurePeer’.

I think, it doesn’t work on Matlab 2015 as they suggest here – http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/196352-sim-i-am-gets-an-error

Not sure though! Sorry for spamming.

So I was trying around status bar and I was trying to add a gridlayout or flowlayout to it so that I can do whatever I like with the layout of status bar but somehow none of the layouts allow statusbar handle. Any idea on that? I know, I can add any JAVA component once I have a layout handle so I was trying to add a gridlayout to status bar and then a couple of JAVA UI components to add.
