radio button prompt

Is there a way to create an input prompt that instead of a string input has a radio button?

I cannot imagine what you are looking for. An input prompt is thought for strings in opposite for radio buttons, which are thought for mutual exclusive choices. Therefore "radio button prompt" is a contradiction.

Can you post a drawing of what you want to get?

Radio buttons are typically used when there is a set of mutually exclusive options to choose from. For this use case, MATLAB provides QUESTDLG:

help questdlg

This dialog uses push buttons and closes when an option is selected.

If you want to pursue radio buttons, you might browse the File Exchange for the user-contributed input dialog utilities there, or you could develop your own using UICONTROL for a radio button:

function createRadioDialog
dlg = dialog('Position',[200 200 30 30]);
uicontrol('Parent',dlg,'Style','text','String', 'Select?','Units','norm','Position',[0 0 0.5 0.7]);
uicontrol('Parent',dlg,'Style','radio','Units','norm','Position',[0.5 0 0.5 1]);

The menu() function might also be an option you want to look into. For example:

choice = menu('Choose a color','Red','Blue','Green')
