How to create an inputdlg with a portion of the default text already selected?

I'd like to create an input dialog box where a subset of the default text is already selected so that the user will overwrite it by beginning to type. Has anyone managed to make something like this work without creating your own gui in GUIDE or AppBuilder?

David, do you mean something like

 prompt = {'Enter matrix size:','Enter colormap name:'};
 dlg_title = 'Input';
 num_lines = 1;
 defaultans = {'20',''};
 answer = inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,defaultans);

This is an adapted example from the MathWorks documentation .

Thanks, Mischa. I mean something like that but, for example, with the '2' in '20' highlighted but the '0' not highlighted. For example:

answer = inputdlg('Type something here', 'Type', 1, {'Highlight this... but not this'

Obviously, I'd like the 'Highlight this...' to be selected and the ' but not this' to not be selected. Do you know if this is possible or is this something where I'm just going to have to design my own dialog box?
