I am designing the following app in Matlab app.designer
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/497907/image.png)
As you can see, when I click run, the sizes are the same

But when I click on maximize tab (in the top right corner), the sizes of the blocks and windows just extend

How can I design the app in the matlab app.designer and stablish the sizes proportions that the blocks and the windows will have once the app is running in normal tab and maximized tab?
Thank you very much

Just to clarify, do you want the size of all objects to resize proportionally? That is when the window is twice the size when maximized then all the objects should also resize to twice their original size?

If you want more flexibility over how your app automatically resizes, use Grid Layout Managers or the auto-reflow options in App Designer instead of the AutoResizeChildren property.

@ErikJon Pérez Mardaras I see what you mean. I updated my answer to remove the checkbox suggestion. The first link in my answer provides an example of what you're describing.
