How to reposition logos and buttons in app designer after changing screen size.

21 views (last 30 days)
I have a trial app where the logo has been placed in the bottom right corner in the preview screen size. But once I run the app and change to full screen, the logo is no longer in the bottom right corner but rather in the middle of the screen. How can I have it so that all images, button, labels are in the relative same location of the screen when changing screen size. I have AutoResizeChildren turned on but that still doesn't make a difference.

function startupFcn(app)
app.UIFigure.Position = [300, 300, 650, 495]; % on a laptop screen
oPos = app.UIFigure.Position; % old position of screen coordinates for App
nPos = get(app.UIFigure, 'Position'); % get the new position of screen coordinates for App
ratio = [nPos(1)/oPos(1) nPos(2)/oPos(2) nPos(3)/oPos(3), nPos(4)/oPos(4)]; % take the ratio
app.UIFigure.Position = [app.UIFigure.Position(1)*ratio(1) app.UIFigure.Position(2)*ratio(2) app.UIFigure.Position(3)*ratio(3) app.UIFigure.Position(4)*ratio(4)];
% Rescale the new position with ratio
end
You can use get function which is useful to set the properties of screen coordinates when the user resizes the App. Add the above code in startupFcn in app, and it seems to have solved problem with resizing the layout of app & its comnponents now.

It's better to use GUIDE to develop GUI instead of App designer , and later migrate to App designer. Hope this solves your problem
