[GUI] How do you get only one element in a listbox

I know you are able to obtain all the elements in a string from the listbox with:

get(handles.listbox1, 'String')

But what if I only want the second or fourth element in the listbox?

Thanks in advance <3

You have to read in the whole thing anyway. Then get the value property and use that to index into the string.

listboxItems = get(handles.listbox1, 'string');
selectedItems = get(handles.listbox1, 'value');
selectedItem = listboxItems(selectedItems);

Sorry I am still confused can you give an example to grab the 2nd element in a listbox?

Ok I understand it now, Although I only get the first letter of the element.

and not the whole element?

So if the elements are "fish, dog, goat, rhino" and I select dog and hit my push button I only get "d" as my output and not dog.

Change

listboxItems = get(handles.listbox1, 'string');

to

listboxItems = cellstr( get(handles.listbox1, 'string') );
