How can I write in multiple edittexts using a 'for' loop?

Hey guys, I'm creating a GUI in GUIDE and I need to write in multiple edittexts, say...100 of them. Is there a manner to write in one at a time, in a for loop, for example?

My first idea was to execute this command:

set(handles.edittext01,'string',text(1:end));

inside the loop, incrementing the expression: 'edittext01' in each iteration, but I guess it's not possible, because errors appear.

I would be grateful if someone could help me. Thank's

"Error appears" does not allow to suggest an improvement. Better post the code and a copy of the complete error message.

If you have 100 edit fields, "edit01" is a bad naming scheme. Do you see any chance to store the handles in a vector:

figure;  % dummy for demonstration
handles.editH = zeros(1, 100);
for k = 1:100
  col = floor((k - 1) / 10);
  row = mod(k, 10);
  handles.edit(k) = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', ...
                              'Position', [10 + col * 40, row*30, 30, 20]);
end

This is a demo only and the result will not match the figure nicely.

Hi, Mr. Jan

I didn't posted the errors because i modified the code after them. Sorry for that.

Your answer helped me so much. The inheritance subintended in the " handles.edit(k)" is what i need: an 'array' of handles. The command set(handles.edit(k),'string','test') works good in a loop!

Thank you very much, Jan!
