A dialog box for the user to select several items from a list of available items.

OKDlgWithListBox(varargin)
function varargout = OKDlgWithListBox(varargin)
% OKDLGWITHLISTBOX produces a simple OK dialog to
% be used to display long help messages but may really
% be used for many purposes.
% The lengthy message is displayed in a listbox, which
% has the advantage of permitting scroll bars.
%
%
% INPUT
% * QUESTION,       type = string
% * NAME,           type = string
% * LISTBOX MESSAGE,type = cell array of strings
%                          OR a filename preceeded by "-f"
%
% OUTPUT
% * SELECTEDBUTTONNAME, type = string
%
% USAGE
% out = OKDlgWithListBox( ...
%     ['Help for SearchReplaceManyGUI.  This help page has been created ' ...
%     'to provide some basic guidance for the program ' ...
%     'SearchReplaceManyGUI.  Unfortunately, since the programmer was ' ...
%     'very lazy, he used an automated help tool, AUTOHELP, and as a ' ...

% OKDLGWITHLISTBOX M-file for OKDlgWithListBox.fig
%      OKDLGWITHLISTBOX by itself, creates a new OKDLGWITHLISTBOX or raises the
%      existing singleton*.
%
%      H = OKDLGWITHLISTBOX returns the handle to a new OKDLGWITHLISTBOX or the handle to
%      the existing singleton*.
%
%      OKDLGWITHLISTBOX('CALLBACK',hObject,eventData,handles,...) calls the local
%      function named CALLBACK in OKDLGWITHLISTBOX.M with the given input arguments.
%
%      OKDLGWITHLISTBOX('Property','Value',...) creates a new OKDLGWITHLISTBOX or raises the
%      existing singleton*.  Starting from the left, property value pairs are
%      applied to the GUI before OKDlgWithListBox_OpeningFunction gets called.  An
%      unrecognized property name or invalid value makes property application
%      stop.  All inputs are passed to OKDlgWithListBox_OpeningFcn via varargin.
%
%      *See GUI Options on GUIDE's Tools menu.  Choose "GUI allows only one
%      instance to run (singleton)".
