Creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), MATLAB Version 7.9 (R2009b)

New features and changes introduced in this version are:

Expanded Documentation on Techniques for Programmatic GUI Design

The section Laying Out a GUI of the Creating Graphic User Interfaces documentation has been expanded. The updated section, formerly called "Aligning Components," now has the title Composing and Coding GUIs with Interactive Tools.

The renamed section describes techniques, functions, and predefined dialog boxes you can use to accelerate programmatic construction of GUIs (that is, those you create without using GUIDE).

The section includes examples of setting component positions, colors, and font properties interactively. Also included is an example function that generates a set statement for a specified property of any GUI component. By running this function and pasting its output into your GUI code file, you can save time and avoid making typographical errors.

Previous Change to How UI Components Set the Figure SelectionType Property

The MATLAB SelectionType figure property had an undocumented change in V. 7.6 (R2008a). That change modified how the property is set in response to single-clicking and double-clicking objects, particularly uicontrols, with and without key modifiers.

For information about this change, including potential incompatibilities, see Changes to How uicontrols Set Figure SelectionType. The table in that release note specifies the SelectionType setting resulting from clicking a UI component in both enabled and disabled states.
