How can I create an uitable with one column as strings and second column as checkboxes?

I want to have an uitable with two columns: the first column contains names (format of the column is set to Let MATLAB choose) and the second column contains checkboxes (format Logical, Editable).

I am trying to fill the table using the code:

tableContent = {names include};
set(handles.uitable1,'Data',tableContent);

where names is a cell array (size n*1) and include is a logical array (size n*1).

I get the error: Error using set Values within a cell array must be numeric, logical, or char

I have also unsuccesfully tried to convert names to char. Is there any way to do that?

Thank you.

f = figure('Position',[100 100 400 150]);
names={'name1';'name2';'name3'}
checkbox1={false;false;false}
yourdata =[names checkbox1]  
columnname =   {'name', 'check'};
columnformat = {'char', 'logical'};
columneditable =  [true true]; 
t = uitable('Units','normalized','Position',...
          [0.1 0.1 0.9 0.9], 'Data', yourdata,... 
          'ColumnName', columnname,...
          'ColumnFormat', columnformat,...
          'ColumnEditable', columneditable,...
          'RowName',[] ,'BackgroundColor',[.7 .9 .8],'ForegroundColor',[0 0 0]);

You can use

checkbox1=num2cell(logical(zeros(3,1)))
