Set the 'Max' property of the uicontrol style 'text' to more than 1. The text box will then be able to display a cell array of character vectors.

However, there will be no scroll bar for these characters. In practice it is usually more useful to use a uicontrol style 'edit' with Max greater than 1 and 'enable' set to 'disable' . Such boxes can display multiple rows, and have scroll bars, but cannot be edited.

Thanks for the reply Walter.

It is working however, I am not able to get multiple outputs on the screen as it is only displaying one of the output displayed. The new output string removes the previous

string in the output text box.
