assigning data which include global and string into edit in GUI.

a=125;

b=sprintf('latitude %13.7f degree \n', a)

% b=latitude 125.0000000 degree

%I wanna assign this created structure (latitude 125.0000000 degree) into edit in GUI environment as they appear.

What have you tried so far and which problems have appeared?

The created object is a "string", while "structure" might be confusing.

[sermet]

latitude 125.0000000 degree. That's the structure.

[Jan]

I agree that this is a certain kind of "structure", but the term is really misleading here, and "string" would be much more helpful and descriptive.

a = 125;
b = sprintf('latitude %13.7f degree \n', a);

figure;
EditH = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'String', b);

[sermet]

there is a error. % --- Executes on button press in pushbutton1.

function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

% hObject handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)

% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB

% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

a = 125;

b = sprintf('latitude %13.7f degree \n', a)

figure

EditH = uicontrol('Style', 'edit1', 'String', b)

%errors Error using uicontrol Bad property value found. Object Name : uicontrol Property Name : 'Style'.

btw, I have an empty edit1 in GUI, and I wanna assign the data in this edit box.

Do you see the difference between the code I've posted and the code appearing in your error message:

EditH = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'String', b)   % mine
EditH = uicontrol('Style', 'edit1', 'String', b)  % yours

Please copy the suggestions in the forum carefully.

If you have created the GUI already and want to write the string into an existing edit field:

set(handles.EditHandle, 'String', b);

with a matching name instead of "EditHandle". Perhaps it is "handles.edit1", which might explain the typo above.

[sermet]

I'm explaining again more clearly.

I have an empty edit field in GUI which tag name is "edit1"

I wanna write "latitude 125.0000000 degree." into this field.

here the codes you sent me;

a = 125

b = sprintf('latitude %13.7f degree \n', a)

set(handles.EditHandle, 'String', b); %for GUI

it gives Reference to non-existent field 'EditHandle'. error.

@sermet: Please, take the time to read my answers carefully. You can find there:

 ...with a matching name instead of "EditHandle". Perhaps it is "handles.edit1"...

I expect that you can and will perform the tiny modifications by your own.

Please format the code you post in this forum. It would improve the readability.

[sermet]

I wrote the codes which is defining a and b. Please write following codes again taking into consideration a blank edit field in GUI for write this string. So I can copy these codes.

a=125

b = sprintf('latitude %13.7f degree \n', a)

......

[Jan]

Is this meant seriously or are you kidding?

I have written:

set(handles.EditHandle, 'String', b);

and explained:

with a matching name instead of "EditHandle". Perhaps it is "handles.edit1"

So try to replace "handles.EditHandle" by "handles.edit1". I will definitely not do this trivial replacement for you.
