I just want to put out a feeler to determine if anybody else is
suffering from the goof on the part of TMW.  First, is there anybody
out there who can use the set(0,'DefaultWindowStyle','docked') option
in R2006b, and still have the built in functions like dialog, questdlg,
waitbar, etc. work?  I have submitted this as a bug to TMW (request
1-327AYF).   What has changed in R2006b is that if you have a command
that says set(h, 'DockControls','off','WindowStyle','modal') this will
crash execution, since it tries to do it in that order, not realizing
that there is no problem if it sets the windowstyle first (or even
simultaneously).  This would not be a problem if TMW didn't spend so
much time trying to hide the dockControls WITHOUT CHECKING TO SEE IF
THE WINDOW IS DOCKED.  As you can probably tell I'm pretty offended by
this one.

My primary reason for asking is that if this is as much of a problem
for you as it is for me (many, many programs are broken now) we need to
make sure TMW knows that this is a high priority patch to get out
there.

Please, let me know your thoughts.  Also, anybody at TMW who wants to
respond to indicate that this issue is getting the attention it
deserves, please feel free.

Thanks all,

Dan
