Sorry, the writing on the properties section is too small to read. Please post the properties section as a seperate image.

Thanks, sorry. Added in the question the new figure. I jope this is what you meant by "properties section "

Is app.GridLayout's 'Scrollable' property set to 'on'?

You keep forgetting to attach your .mlapp file.

If you have any more questions, then attach your .mlapp file with the paperclip icon after you read this:

I have seen a similar thing in my own apps where the controls are too high and were clipped off at the top of the GUI during runtime. I had to move them down and have some empty space at the top for some reason.

Attached the mlapp file.

Hi @Ali razi

I understand that you are not able to scroll through your application despite enabling “Scrollable” property of the parent figure.

I tried reproducing the issue and the problem seems to be with the position and scale of the figure. It is recommended to design an app such that it can adjust its dynamics based on the screen it is being viewed on. You can do so by adding a “startUpFcn” to your App that adjusts the scale based on your systems current resolution.

You can know more details on app resizing from the below post.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. I tried it with 2024b but it still does not work.

but in version 2023b it works fine.

Any known modification why it is like that?

I tried it on R2024b. It works fine for me. PFA the app with the changes.
