GUiDE, is there a difference between setting up properties in OpeningFcn and setting them on the createFcn of each gui element?

Is there a reason to choose one over the other, besides code modularity?

OpeningFcn is specific to guide GUIs and will run each time the guide GUI is executed. http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/initializing-a-guide-gui.html

CreateFcn on the other hand is a figure property defined here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/figure_props.html This is executed when MATLAB creates a figure object

If you are working on a GUIDE GUI and want to manager data in the GUIDE GUI, its recommended to use openingfcn, as explained in the first link above.
