questdlg

Create and open question dialog box

Syntax

button = questdlg('qstring') button = questdlg('qstring','title') button = questdlg('qstring','title','default') button = questdlg('qstring','title','str1','str2','default') button = questdlg('qstring','title','str1','str2','str3','default')

Description

button = questdlg('qstring') displays a modal dialog box presenting the question 'qstring'. The dialog has three default buttons, Yes, No, and Cancel. If the user presses one of these three buttons, button is set to the name of the button pressed. If the user presses the close button on the dialog, button is set to the empty string. If the user presses the Return key, button is set to 'Yes'. 'qstring' is a cell array or a string that automatically wraps to fit within the dialog box.

Note A modal dialog box prevents the user from interacting with other windows before responding. For more information, see WindowStyle in the MATLAB Figure Properties.

button = questdlg('qstring','title') displays a question dialog with 'title' displayed in the dialog's title bar.

button = questdlg('qstring','title','default') specifies which push button is the default in the event that the Return key is pressed. 'default' must be 'Yes', 'No', or 'Cancel'.

button = questdlg('qstring','title','str1','str2','default') creates a question dialog box with two push buttons labeled 'str1' and 'str2'. 'default' specifies the default button selection and must be 'str1' or 'str2'.

button = questdlg('qstring','title','str1','str2','str3','default') creates a question dialog box with three push buttons labeled 'str1', 'str2', and 'str3'. 'default' specifies the default button selection and must be 'str1', 'str2', or 'str3'.

In all cases where 'default' is specified, if 'default' is not set to one of the button names, pressing the Enter key displays a warning and the dialog remains open.
