Details:

In MATLAB, it is possible th change the style of a uicontrol:


F=figure;
H=uicontrol(F,'Style','edit','String','content');
set(H,'Style','text');


while Octave returns an error stating it is not possible:


error: set: cannot change the style of a uicontrol object after creation.


I assume that this is a documented feature in MATLAB as it is not said in the
documentation that the 'Style' property can only be set once and for all.

Is this something that could possibly be doable in Octave or shall I make sure
that my code never uses this functionality as it won't be implemented?
