Hi,
I am using GUIDE and when I try to resize the figure, nothing happens, and in the MATLAB command window, I get the following error:
Warning: Cannot set Position while WindowStyle is 'docked'
> In guidefunc>resizeFigure at 2693
In guidefunc at 116
I understand figures' position property cannot be set when docked, but how do I undock the GUIDE? I thought I could
set(h,'windowstyle','normal')
but I can't seem to find the figure handle. I tried using the method below:
findall(0,'type','fig')
ans =
Empty matrix: 0-by-1

  1. In GUIDE, double click on your main figure's background - in any unoccupied space. This will being up the Property Inspector.
  2. Scroll way down to the last item in the Property Inspector. It is a property called WindowStyle.
  3. Change the WindowStyle property from docked to normal.
  4. Resize your figure. The warning will not appear back in the main MATLAB command window anymore.

Try
findall(0,'type','figure')
If there is only one figure then you can get its handle with
gcf
as in
set(gcf, 'Windowstyle', 'normal')
