I am working on an app in GUIDE matlab. I want to display some information (1st cell in a field of a structure) in an editbox in the main figure of GUI. I was using the followinf code, which doesn't work (no change to the edit text box):
function edit1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject handle to edit1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
MyData=handles.MyData;
handles.edit1 = edit1;
name=MyData.XXX.subsysNames(1,1)
set(handles.edit1,'String',cell2str(name));
guidata(hObject, handles)
(I suspect that I might be using the handles wrong but I am not sure. Could somebody point me in the right direction? ) How do I update the edit box?
Thanks!

Do you get any error messages?
You are overwriting the handle of your edit box, thus you use the wrong handle when you try to update it:
handles.edit1 = edit1; % this should throw an error unless you have an edit1 function somewhere
edit1=handles.edit1; %this would be okayish, but not necessary
I am not aware of any cell2str function. Here is a small example what might work:
handles.MyData{1}=123;
handles.edit1=uicontrol('style','edit');
set(handles.edit1,'callback',{@edit1_cb,handles})
function edit1_cb(hObj,~,handles)
set(handles.edit1,'string',num2str(handles.MyData{1}))
%set(hObj,'string',num2str(handles.MyData{1})) %this would work aswell
end

In that case you can simply change the text of the edit field inside the callback that loads your data.
