hi, I have a question about button edit. Generelly in the string of edit, we can only input a line of data. Can we input the data in different line?

'edit' – Editable text fields enable you to enter or modify text values. Use editable text when you want free text as input. To enable multiple lines of text, set Max-Min>1. Multiline edit boxes provide a vertical scroll bar for scrolling. The arrow keys also provide a way to scroll. Obtain the current text by getting the String property. The String property does not update as you type in an edit box. You must click away from the edit box to update its String property and activate its callback.

MATLAB: GUIDE-edit text

function exampleEditEnable
%Build stuff
hFig = figure;
hBut = uicontrol('style','push','units','norm','position',[0 0 0.3 0.1],'enable','off','string','can''t touch this'); %a button
hEdit = uicontrol('style','edit','units','norm','position',[0.5 0.5 0.3 0.1],'string','edit me, I dare you!','callback',@enableButton); %an edit box
    function enableButton(varargin)
        set(hBut,'enable','on');
        set(hBut,'string','can touch this');
    end
end

To translate this into GUIDE just use handles.edit and handles.pushbutton etc.

MATLAB: How to remove or control the behavior of the scrollbar in an Edit Text box

You can remove the scroll bars from an edit box by changing the values of the Max and Min properties of the box. If Max - Min > 1, text boxes accept multiline input and scroll bars are drawn. If Max - Min <= 1, text boxes accept only single-line input and no scroll bars appear.

If you want multiple lines of text with no scroll bar and do not require modification by the user, then you can use the Static Text box.

There is no way to create an Edit Text box with both multiple lines and no scroll bar.
