% Get a list of indexes in the listbox that the user has selected.
Selected = get(handles.lstExcelFiles, 'Value');
% If more than one is selected, bail out.
if length(Selected) > 1
return;
end
% If you get to here, exactly 1 is selected.
% Now, get a list of all the items in the listbox.
ListOfFileNames = get(handles.lstExcelFiles, 'string');
% Get the name of the one particular file that has been selected.
baseFileName = strcat(cell2mat(ListOfFileNames(Selected)));
% Get the full file name by prepending the folder where the files live.
excelFullFileName= fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Open file in Excel.
winopen(excelFullFileName);
