Add User Interface Controls to a Programmatic GUI
Use the uicontrol function to create user interface controls. These include
push buttons, toggle buttons, sliders, radio buttons, edit text controls, static
text controls, pop-up menus, check boxes, and list boxes.
Note See “Types of GUI Components” on page 11-9 for descriptions of these
components. See “Program User Interface Controls” on page 12-20 for basic
examples of programming these components.
Asyntaxfortheuicontrol function is
uich = uicontrol(parent,'PropertyN ame',PropertyValue,...)
where uich is the h andle of the resulting user interface control. If you do

other valid syntaxes.
