Thread Subject: uitable and text

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a uitable, in guide, to accept text inputs. Could someone help me out?

Hint:
set(handles.uitable1,'Data',[1,2,3;4,5,6])

That puts numbers in the table. I need to get strings in it, or at least the ability to have 08976 not converted to 8976.

In that case, make it a cell array?

set(handles.uitable1,'Data',{'hello';'world'})

wow, works well, one of the few things I did not try. Now the problem is that doing that sets the table to only 2 rows long, and I would like at least 100. Do I need to do the same thing and just make ' ';' ' 100 times? I have tried sertting it to cell(100,2), but that does not allow text.

Yeah, the table will actually conform to whatever dimensions you have
in your 'Data'. If your 'Data' is huge, there will be scroll bars
(depending on the size you originally made the table to be).
Mess around with it a bit.
If you set data as {'h','e','l','l','o';'w','o','r','l','d'} you will
have six columns and two rows (unless I have them backwards.. but you
get what I mean).

Good luck!
Glad I could help.
