Hi

How can I add new strings into a listbox? 

By using \n doesn't seem to do the job.
I tried:

initial_name=get(handles.listbox,'String')
new_name = sprintf('%s\n%s',initial_name,new_line) % assume there is a string store in variable new_line
set(handles.listbox,'String',new_name) gives the new_line and initial_line on the same line.

Thanks
Zheng

initial_name=cellstr(get(handles.listbox,'String'));
new_name = [initial_name;{new_line}];
set(handles.listbox,'String',new_name)

Hi,

Just create a cell and set by handles.

for i=1:length(list)
handles.names(i)=list(i) % fill handles struct with values that you want like to input in
end
set(handles.Listbox1,'String',handles.names)
