I have an edit box in my GUI. User inputs a number into the editbox and then pushes a pushbutton. when the pushbutton is pressed an external function is called. for the external function i need the number entered in the editbox. How can i used 'handles' to retrieve the data input in the edit box?

s=str2double(get(handles.editboxname,'string'))

% editboxname is the tag of your edit box.

In your callback for edit1 you replace the handle with the value extracted from the handle. That is confusing at the very least.

You need to save your variables (i.e. the strings from the editboxes) as fields of the structure handles. So correct your functions as the one below:

function subject_editbox_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
input=get(hObject,'String');  
display(input)  
handles.sub=input;
guidata(hObject, handles);

Only then you can concatenate handles.sub with handles.displacement
