Matlab GUI elements disappear on newer version of Matlab

Hi,

I just upgraded from matlab 2014 to matlab 2022 and a gui i was working on which was fine on matlab 2014 has all it's pushbutton missing and an entire buttongroup missing and other things and i don't really understand why. Here is the difference between the gui in the two versions of matlab :

and here is the gui code if anyone can help : (Am i using outdated code or something like that ?)

function h0=kgui4n
%KGUI4N construction de la boite de dialogue pour KGEXEC4N

blanc=[1 1 1];
gris=blanc*0.75;
global language
global first_time
lg=find(strcmp(getpref('kgexec4','LangGui','fr'),{'fr','en'}));

if (first_time==1)
    if(language==1)
        lg=1;

    else
        lg=2;

    end
end

[Jan]

The uibuttongroup hides objects, which have been created before in modern Matlab versions.

Set a position of the uibuttongroup's and set the position of the buttons inside relative to the parent location.

You can see the effect by using different background colors for the uibuttongroups and step through the code line by line.

[Ali]

ok thank you very much

[Ali]

@Jan I did as you said and that allowed to show the part that where hidden but when i try to put a position in the uibuttongroup and i place inside some radiobutton it never shows up i can't see neither the uibuttongroup even if i put some colors nor the radiobutton inside of them.

Here is an exemple :
