MATLAB Creating Graphical User Interfaces

Add Components to the GUIDE Layout Area

When you select an ActiveX control, you can open the ActiveX Property Editor by right-
clicking and selecting ActiveX Property Editor from the context menu or clicking the
Tools menu and selecting it from there.

Note:What an ActiveX Property Editor contains and looks like is dependent on what
user controls that the authors of the particular ActiveX object have created and stored in
the UI for the object. In some cases, a UI without controls or no UI at all appears when
you select this menu item.

Resize GUIDE UI Components

You can resize components in one of the following ways:

• “Drag a Corner of the Component” on page 6- 67


• “Set the Component's Position Property” on page 6- 68

Drag a Corner of the Component

Select the component you want to resize. Click one of the corner handles and drag it until
the component is the desired size.
