Thread Subject: gui 2007b maximaize window

hi
I recently upgraded to 2007b
I used the function maximize.m (file exchange)
to maximize the main gui window when it opens.
now it is not working anymore.
I also have problems with windows that should open in front
are now sent backwards.
any ideas?
thanks

Hello
You can use this Java hack
h = figure;drawnow;
j = get(h,'javaframe');
jfig = j.fFigureClient.getWindow; %undocumented
jfig.setAlwaysOnTop(1);%places window on top, 0 to disable
jfig.setMaximized(1); %maximizes the window, 0 to minimize

This doesn't exactly work if you're using GUIDE. I put this code into
my m file. The main window in GUIDE is called figMain. The macro is
called MyMacro (I changed the actual name).

% --- Executes just before MyMacro is made visible.
function MyMacro_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
% This function has no output args, see OutputFcn.
% hObject handle to figure
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% varargin command line arguments to MyMacro (see VARARGIN)

% Choose default command line output for MyMacro
handles.output =3D hObject;

% --- My Startup Code
--------------------------------------------------
    % Clear old stuff from console.
     clc;
h =3D handles.figMain;
drawnow;
j =3D get(h,'javaframe');
jfig =3D j.fFigureClient.getWindow; %undocumented
jfig.setAlwaysOnTop(1);%places window on top, 0 to disable
jfig.setMaximized(1); %maximizes the window, 0 to minimize
    % Update handles structure
    guidata(hObject, handles);

% --- End of My Startup Code
--------------------------------------------------


Now, when it hits the jfig.setMaximized line, it does indeed maximize
the window, but then it continues on doing guidata(hObject, handles);
plus a bunch of other hidden MATLAB stuff before it actually turns
control of the window over to the user. Somewhere in that, it un-
maximizes the window. Nice try though. I'd still like a solution.

Hello
You can use my code in a separate m file as follows, to make
it work
ex:
%supposes guimain.m is your main gui figure(application)
window. Then make gui_tocall_main.m as a new m file that
calls your guimain function, with following to make it work

function gui_tocall_main
h = guimain;drawnow;
pause(1);
j = get(h,'javaframe');
jfig = j.fFigureClient.getWindow; %undocumented
jfig.setAlwaysOnTop(1);%places window on top, 0 to disable
jfig.setMaximized(1); %maximizes the window, 0 to minimize

The figure has to be visible. Otherwise this hint doesnt
work.

Stephen:
The figure is/was visible. It showed up when the drawnow command was
executed. And your code maximized the window. The problem is that
there's additional code that gets executed when you're running a GUIDE-
associated m file that gets executed that UNMAXIMIZES the window. So
basically it undoes what your code did, and I don't know of any way
around it.

Hi, I'm not sure what is the problem. I have just tested
maximize on 2007b gui main figure, and it works to me.

If you want to maximize a gui created by guide, you have to
maximize your gui after the gui is loaded completely.
e.g. by a extra m-file which starts your gui:

h=mygui;
j=get(h,'JavaFrame');
set(j,'Maximized',true);
