MATLAB: How to add information to a uitable by clicking a checkbox and take it out of the table by unclicking it

uitable

I am trying to add values that are in a cell array (ex. {Category,Thing}) into a uitable by clicking the checkbox and take it out of the uitable by unclicking. I can't seem to figure it out.

Hi Matthew,
Please find the following code snippet, this creates a table and checkbox.
table = uitable;
uicontrol('Style','checkbox','String','Check Me','Value',0,'Position',[300 300 130 200],'Callback',{@checkBoxCallback,table,'Category','Thing'});
And the checkBoxCallback adds the row to the UI table when the check box is checked and removes the same when unchecked.
The checkBoxCallback is as follows,
function checkBoxCallback(hObject,eventData,table,category,category_value)
    value = get(hObject,'Value');
    if value==1
        table.Data={category,category_value};
    else
        table.Data={'',''};
    end          
end
Hope this answers your query.
