MultiLine Edit Boxes - Appending to

I've just realised that you can have multiline text in an edit box by changing its Max property. I want to be able to use an edit box as a type of memo so I can keep track of some RS232 serial port send and receive strings.

The problem is that I only get a single line of text and it over writes everytime. Is there anyway to add to the edit box, but in an appending manner?

Thanks Jason

"but in an appending manner" &nbsp No! (not before R2014b anyway)

There are two alternatives

• Keep and modify the entire text in a cell array of strings in you code. Update the string property of the edit-box after each modification
• get, modify, set of the entire text.
