Set the 'Max' property of the uicontrol style 'text' to more than 1. The text box will then be able to display a cell array of character vectors.
However, there will be no scroll bar for these characters. In practice it is usually more useful to use a uicontrol style 'edit' with Max greater than 1 and 'enable' set to 'disable' . Such boxes can display multiple rows, and have scroll bars, but cannot be edited.
