1Which is it then - App Designer or GUIDE? These are **VERY** different things (one is based on JS/CSS and the other is on Java). If you want to do it with App Designer, you might have to manipulate the `.css` files in `%matlabroot%/toolbox/matlab/uitools/uifigureappjs/release/gbtclient/css/...` With GUIDE it should be fairly easy... – Dev-iL Aug 13 '16 at 09:08

@Dev-iL. Currently I'm using AppDesigner . I mentioned two aspects to have a more general question. thanks. – Eghbal Aug 13 '16 at 09:09

We can find some clues on how to do this with GUIDE in this UndocumentedMatlab article. We need the findjobj utility, to get a handle for the Java control. The next steps
function q38930371
hF = figure(...
'Position',[500 500 300 350],...
'Tag','Demo',...
'Menubar','None',...
'Resize','on');
hLb = uicontrol(...
'Parent',hF,...
'String',{ 'Item 1'; 'Item 2'; 'Item 3'; 'Item 4' },...
'Style','listbox',...
'Value',1,...
'Position',[50 50 200 250],...
'Children',[],...
'Tag','listbox1');
% Get a handle to the Java control:
jSp = findjobj(hLb);
% Get the list cell renderer
jCr = jSp.getViewport.getView.getCellRenderer;
% Set the horizontal alignment of the renderer:
% https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/DefaultListCellRenderer.html
jCr.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.SwingConstants.CENTER);
% Refresh view:
jSp.repaint
The result:
The App Designer solution can be found in this post.
