MATLAB: How to write information into text boxes after GUI runs

textboxes

I am trying to write strings into a text box after the GUI starts running. i tried to use 'set' command, this is what i have

set(hObject, 'String', input_folder_name)

so the input_folder_name is a user inputted variable. i put this command line in the function created when i made the text box. can anyone tell me where i did wrong? Thanks

Put the code inside the OpeningFcn

set(handles.text1, 'String', input_folder_name) 
%text1 is the name of the textbox, you might need to change it

MATLAB: Static Text Handle Creation

there should be a tag associated with the static text. default is "handles.text1", it doesn't create functions like the other uicontrols since it is usually just used as static text. so i am not sure what you're accomplishing with the set(hObject....) within the text box as that would turn the text box visibility off.

i created a simple GUIDE gui with a button and a static text field (set property value to be visible off). Then i put

set(handles.text1,'visible','on')

under the button callback.

Running this simple gui, i can turn the static text field to be visible when i push the button.

example of my test gui containing just a static text with tag text1 and a pushbutton1.

    function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
    % hObject    handle to pushbutton1 (see GCBO)
    % eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
    % handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
    status = get(handles.text1,'visible');
    switch status
        case 'on'
        set(handles.text1,'visible','off');
        case 'off'
            set(handles.text1,'visible','on');
    end
