How to Create a NON-RESIZABLE GUI that displays properly on all screen resolutions?

I am trying to create a GUI using GUIDE that is NON-RESIZABLE but displays properly in all screen resolutions. I have currently built it using GUIDE with a screen resolution of 1920x1200 with font size of "small". When I open it up on a 1920X1200 font size "medium" parts of the GUI are cut off (this also obviously occurs if I have a lower resolution as well). I have created and saved the GUI in 'characters' units, as I thought this is what would allow for a resolution-independent GUI, but this does not appear to be working. When I change the units to 'normalized', this helps, provided I can then resize the GUI once opened, which I DO NOT want to give the user the ability to do. How can I turn my GUIDE created GUI into a NON-RESIZABLE GUI that will display properly on different screen resolutions?

modify "GUI Opitions" --> Resize behavior --> Other (Use ResizeFcn)

Then edit "View Callbacks" --> ResizeFcn
add the following codes to line " function figure1_ResizeFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles) "

rect = get(0, 'ScreenSize');
set(hObject, 'Position', rect);

Thank you for your reply.
I don't think this will completely solve my problem. I know that this will still allow my GUI to be resizable, which I don't want. Is there a way then to lock that size once it adjusts so the user cannot adjust the size of the window?

Thank you!

Set the figure's Resize property to 'off'.

The code will enlarge the window over two screeens, if you have two screens connected to your computer!
