MATLAB: Listdlg inside of fprintf

Question

is there anyway i can use fprintf function or is there another function very similar to it, that i can use inside of listdlg. i want it so i when the string in fprintf is updated it is updated in listdlg aswell, if that makes any sense. thanks

Answer 1

What is the mechanism for updating the string in fprintf() ?

You can use sprintf() or compose() to construct strings or character vectors to pass to listdlg()

However, a "live" listdlg() effectively cannot be updated, because listdlg() always starts 'modal'. (There are hacks that could do it, such as using a timer object, but not through user interaction.)
