Setting the string property on the panel only sets the caption for the panel. If you want more than that, you need to have static text labels inside the panel. You can create them with sprintf(). If you want multiple lines in your text, then put in a \n when you create the string:

txtInfo = sprintf('The first number = %d\nThe second number = %f', a, b);
set(handles.txtInfo, 'String', txtInfo);

I'm a fan of sprintf():

txtInfo = sprintf('Your number = %.3f.\nYour string = %s', yourNumber, yourString);
set(handles.txtInfo, 'String', txtInfo);

Obviously use whatever tag you've assigned for that static text label control. Maybe it's text1, txtResults, or whatever...

MATLAB: Is it possible to use multiple lines of text in the ‘String’ Property of a uicontrol

In MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1), it is possible to define multiline strings for the following uicontrols:

   STYLE
   -----
   edit
   text
   popupmenu
   listbox

For multiple items on a pop-up menu or a list box, items can be specified as a cell array of strings, a padded string matrix, or within a string vector separated by vertical slash ('|') characters.

For multiple line editable text or static text controls, line breaks occur between each row of the string matrix, each cell of a cell array of strings, and after any \n characters embedded in the string. Vertical slash ('|') characters are not interpreted as linebreaks, and instead show up in the text displayed in the uicontrol.

For the remaining uicontrol styles, which display only one line of text, only the first string of a cell array of strings or of a padded string matrix is displayed; all the rest are ignored. Vertical slash ('|') characters are not interpreted as linebreaks and instead show up in the text displayed in the Uicontrol.

Below is an example of how to force a text string to wrap to the next line:

A = cell(1,2);  
A{1,1} = 'hello';                                                           
A{1,2} = 'there';                                                           
mls = sprintf('%s\n%s',A{1,1},A{1,2});
h= uicontrol('Style','Edit','String',mls,'Position',[10 200 75 100],'Max',2);
h= uicontrol('Style','Text','String',mls,'Position',[10 80 75 100],'Max',2)
