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.

I seem to have gotten a reasonably stable workaround by adding the following lines to the end of my function that creates the status bar:

old_pos = get(h_fig,'Position');
set(h_fig,'Position',1.05.*old_pos);
set(h_fig,'Position',old_pos);

This seems to be giving me a consistent appearance when the GUI is first displayed. If it is then resized graphically (by dragging the window corner), the GUI components still jump up and down randomly. But, if you disable window resizing (or, you know, just don’t try to resize it), the GUI appears stable.

Interestingly, if you don’t store the old position before the first change, you can’t appear to recreate it from the new position. For example, the following code does not work correctly:

set(h_fig,'Position',1.05.*get(h_fig,'Position'));
set(h_fig,'Position',get(h_fig,'Position')./1.05);

Thanks for again a wonderful contribution!

However, I found a small bug, at least on my system. When creating a statusbar using your ‘statusbar’ function from the File Exchange, the other controls are properly placed in the beginning. But when I then move the window, all controls suddenly shift down (I guess 20 pixels). Is seems that MATLAB is not aware of the ‘extra space’ for the status bar when redrawing the controls.

I use MATLAB 2014b on Windows 7. I cannot test if this is also the case in older versions.

Is this a problem on my system, or is it solvable in the statusbar function?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

It seems that matlab won’t support JavaFrame in future versions of Matlab.
are there any other way to intgrated the waitbar in my GUI?

statusbar;

Instead, it is simply made invisible using the root-pane’s setStatusBarVisible(0) method in line #222. Then, when you recreate the statusbar, adding the internal handles to the CornerGrip, TextPanel and ProgressBar fails, since these properties already exist in the old (previously-hidden) statusbar object.

Your solution, to comment line #263, is probably the easiest and best.

I am using statusbar in my codes since I prefer waitbar docked. I wanted to know how to delete this object in a safe way.
In the help, I can read that the command

statusbar;

deletes status bar from current figure. But I had to comment the line 263 :

lasterr

to prevent the message : Property Name already in use . It happens each time I recreate a statusbar or when I display a dialog box.

I guess that :

jProgressBar.setVisible(0);

is not enough to delete this object.

Thanks,
