This is almost the same question as http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/82444-set-handles-function-for-char-data. Please do not post questions twice. If you need tiny changes, add the new information and mark them by an "[EDITED]" tag in the text.

Assuming you created your GUI using GUIDE:

set(handles.edit1,'String',scale)

[sermet]

it gives this error:

Warning: Single line Edit Controls can not have multi-line text

You can change the 'Max' property of your edit text box. That should avoid the error.

I changed it I tried 2-3-4 but it doesn't changed

[sermet]

I mean it still gives the error.

Hey if you just want to show the data 'scale' why don't you use static text instead of Edit text?

[sermet]

it change anything?

[nl2605]

Static Text is usually used to dislay values. edit text is used to input values. If you just want to display your result you should use Static text.

ok it works but why I cannot assign into empty edit without problem?

[nl2605]

As I said, edit box is used to put inputs and not for displaying values.

ok thank you so much.
