How to prevent resizing larger than a certain amount

Hi All, I have a GUI I make programatically and the size it starts at is full screen (i.e. in the figure(property,value...'Position',get(0,'screensize'),...)

I want to know if there is a way to prevent users from resizing it larger but still be able to resize it smaller. Apart from the Figure size, everything is in normalized units. I have a dual monitor set up (laptop with external monitor) and the figure first shows at the full screen of my laptop window. I want to be able to resize it smaller but not any larger than it's starting size (laptop full screen size).

I tried setting the figure resize function as:

    function resizeMainFigure(hObject,eventdata)
        % -------
        % Prevent oversizing the window
        % -------
        newPosition = get(mainFigure,'position');

        if newPosition(3) > scrsz(3); newPosition(3) = scrsz(3); end
        if newPosition(4) > scrsz(4); newPosition(4) = scrsz(4); end
        set(mainFigure, 'Position', newPosition);
    end

Where scrsz = get(0,'screensize'); (it spans multiple functions) and mainFigure is the variable storing the figure handle. I'm using 2015A

See http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38527-limit-figure-size

This does not work with HG2 yet, but I'll fix this today.

Thank you both for the link. It looks like exactly what I need. What is HG2 if you don't mind?

Hi I got this error when using LimitSizeFig.

Warning: figure JavaFrame property will be obsoleted in a future release. For more information see the JavaFrame resource on the MathWorks web site. > In LimitSizeFig (line 97) No appropriate method, property, or field 'fFigureClient' for class 'com.mathworks.hg.peer.HG2FigurePeer'. Error in LimitSizeFig (line 101) jClient = jFrame.fFigureClient;

Code used to produce error:

scrsz = get(0,'ScreenSize');
figureSize = [scrsz(1)+5,scrsz(2)+5,scrsz(3)-10,scrsz(4)-10];
mainFigure = figure('Visible','off','Position',figureSize,'Name','CeleST: Video Processing - Choose the videos to process, define the swimming zones, launch the processing','numbertitle','off', 'menubar', 'none', 'resizefcn', @resizeMainFigure);
LimitSizeFig(mainFigure, 'max', [figureSize(3) figureSize(4)]);

I'm running 2015A
