Saving figure while using 'uitabpanel'

For any of you that are familiar with the submission 'uitabpanel' on file exchange, I have a question about saving my figure. If I have a figure with one tab panel (containing 5 or so tabs), how do I save that figure so that when I open it from the .fig file, all the tabs remain functional. Currently if I save the figure, when I reopen it, only the tab that I was on when I saved is still functional and the others are not responsive. Will add code snippets if needed. Thanks!
