Multiple lines in an Edit Text space...

Hi everybody! In my interface I have an Edit Text set as "'Enable', 'inactive'" and I want to use it like a "display" to show my statistics... When I insert variables (even if they're arrays), there's a kind of error that says me that's impossible to show multiple lines in an edit text...

I already set a msgbox using "sprintf" function... As you might know, msgbox is structured as

var=msgbox('Text', 'Title')

I set it as

var=msgbox(sprintf('Text\ntext...'), 'Title');

and it works so well!

I tried and failed using

sprintf(handles.edit_text, 'Text');

because the structure of sprintf is

    str = sprintf(format, A, ...)
__________________________________________________

Please note that I don't need to use sprintf, but I have to put multiline variables in an Edit Text as I said before... I need to use it like a display, to show arrays, or variables, or everything I'm going to calculate in the gui...

There's the possibility to use the same function or a similar way to show statistics in my Edit Text??

Hi,

Maybe this is what you mean :

var = msgbox(get(handles.edit_text,'string'),'Title');

And don't forget to set property of the edit textbox 'min' = 1 and 'max' = 2

Uhm, I think your code takes something in an edit text and put it in a msgbox...

I need to make analysis and put results in an inactive edit text...

Simple example:

for i=1:26

num(i)=[('A'-1)+i]

end

my result is

num =

65

66

67

68

69

70

71

72

73

74

75

76

77

78

79

80

81

82

83

84

85

86

87

88

89

90

Now I have to put "num" in my edit text... How can I do???

Hi, I write this is my pushbutton callback and it succesfully shown 'num' in edit textbox

num = [65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90];

num = num';

set(handles.edit1,'string',num2str(num));

[Jethro]

Chandra, if you can read it, I wrote a msg to you about something else :)

[Jethro]

IT WORKS WITH NUM2STR NOW!! xD Thanks Chandra!!

You have to set the "maximum" property of the edit textbox to be 2, or something greater than 1 anyway.

set(handles.editText1, 'maximum', 2);

Give that a try and see if it works.

I set it in the Inspector Proprieties, in effect it was set to 1 o.O Thanks a lot!
