Display array in GUI after pressing button

I have a GUI set up so that when I click the button, it displays an array in the workspace. How can I use a text box in my GUI to display this array when I click the button? The array I'm using is composed of several strings if that would change anything. Thanks!

Hi,

Don't use a textbox.

use uitable, this way you can put any kind of data : numeric, string, logical,.. see the documentation

All I need to do is display a list of names, would a uitable be simpler for doing that? I won't have any type of data other than strings. If uitable is the simplest, how would I go about doing that/making it respond to a button being pressed? This is the first GUI I've ever written.

With a uitable, you can store a very long list easily. this graphic object come with a scrollbar, which will allow you to save space in your gui.

if you want to create it when you click on the pushbutton.

1) in guide, place the uitable, and set the visible property_ to off.

2) in your code, especially in the pushbutton callback, do something like :

   set(handles.uitable1,'visible','on','Data',MyArrayOfString)
