Create a PushButton with text

Hi,
I can add an image to a PushButton and some text (which overlap the image). However I need to have text next to the Image in the same PushButton. In the past in c# I created a button with text and an image I was onder how can I do this in matlab. Using OOP we should be able to inherit from handle graphic objects but this dont seems the case. How can I produce a button like this?

This is easy to do in AppDesigner. The image is loaded from the Icon property and then you can use the IconAlignment to position the image relative to the text (demonstrated here).

You can use the HTML methods to customize uicontrol's:
pic = fullfile(matlabroot, ...
'\toolbox\shared\dastudio\@DAStudio\@ViewmarkManager\spinner.gif');
pic = strrep(pic, '\', '/');
uicontrol('Style', 'PushButton', 'Position', [10, 10, 200, 50], ...
'String', ['<html><img src = "file:/', pic, '"> Hello!'])
Creating a table inside the button is a powerful alternative also.

Hi Jan,
thank you for the help. Is possibel to put the text up (at the midle of the button height) insted to be near the bottom?
@Armindo: You see, that the formatting is done in HTML. Then the standard HTML styles are working, here the align parameter:
...
'String', ['<html><img align="middle" src="file:/', pic, '"> Hello!']
Thank you very much for the help. Solved.
