Hot to change the settings of multiple gui components at the same time

Hello,
I have a programmatically written gui. Their units are in pixels. After writing everything in pixels, I wanted to set all the units to normalized. I don't want to do it one by one. Do you know how I can set to normalized for multiple handles at the same time?
Thank you,
Emre

Okay:
handles = struct('h1',pi,'h2',3,'edit1',17); %exmaple handles
set(cell2mat(struct2cell(handles)),'somefield',some_value);

Hello,
Can you help me with this error?
clc
clear
a=figure;
position=get(a,'position');
dx=position(3);
dy=position(4);
handles.text=uicontrol(a,'style','text',...
'units','pixels',...
'string','anayin',...
'position',[dx/2 dy/2 100 40],...
'fontsize',8);
guidata(handles.text,handles)
tobenormalized=struct('handles.text',handles.text);
set(cell2mat(struct2cell(tobenormalized)),'units',normalized);
You can't have the '.' in the field name of a struct. It looks lik eyou probably want:
tobenormalized=struct('text',handles.text);

Pass in a vector of the handles:
u(1) = uicontrol;
u(2) = uicontrol;
u(3) = uicontrol;
set(u,'units','norm')

Thank you for the answer. I already names my handles. Some of them are in vector form as you show, some of them aren't. I guess at this point I have to do them one by one. I wish there was something like set(all,'units','normalized')...
In that case, something like this would be easiest of all!
set(findall(gcf,'units','pix'),'units','norm')
In that case, something like this would be easiest of all!
set(findall(gcf,'units','pix'),'units','norm')
OMG. Thank you very much for this. I finally found this gold after 5 hours of madness :^)
ditto that!! That's one beautiful line. Thanks @Loginatorist
