How can I fit a large sized GUI on a small screen, without forcibly squeezing in the objects but giving an option to scroll ?

I have made a GUI on a Desktop PC. If I run the same on a laptop, part of the GUI is cropped out. I tried to fit in the GUI using some solutions provided for similar queries online, but it was trying to squeeze the objects and fit into the screen. I don't want that to happen, as I strictly have to maintain the structure irrespective of screen size. I think it will be solved if there is any option by which a scroll bar will be created when I run, using which I can scroll up or down to access the cropped out objects ?

Can someone please help me out ? Thank you very much!

Eshwar - have you looked at these GUIDE options with respect to the resize behaviour (and in particular the proportional option)?

Or see Titus Edelhofer's solution at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/67663-is-there-a-way-to-auto-resize-a-gui-window-according-to-pc-s-screen-size.

Yeah, I tried using the 'proportional' option (listed under GUI Options). It seems to re-position and re-size the objects to fit the screen size. But that makes some objects get overlapped with others, also position of the objects are affected.

I will look into the other option. Thank you very much for the response :)

BTW I still want to find out whether there is an option which creates a slider (scroll bar) using which I can move the GUI up/down when it is running. Is there any constraint for MATLAB to not give that option ?
