Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type. GUI issues.

Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type. I am currently trying to write a GUI and use the get command to extract information, but it is giving me that error message when I try to convert it to a variable.

The full error line is:

Error in NameRedacted>InsertNumberofPaymentsHere_Callback (line 184)
InsertNumberofPaymentsHereBox = str2double(get(handles.InsertNumberofPaymentsHere,'string'));

The lines of code around it read:

function InsertNumberofPaymentsHere_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to InsertNumberofPaymentsHere (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
InsertNumberofPaymentsHereBox = str2double(get(handles.InsertNumberofPaymentsHere,'string'));
IsNumberEmpty = isempty(InsertNumberofPaymentsHereBox);

I am unsure what I am doing wrong here. Can anyone enlighten me as to the issue?

You do not have a static text label or edit text box on your GUI with the name ("tag") InsertNumberofPaymentsHere.

This is not the issue

Nevermind, the issue was that I was running it with the wrong button. This was a non-issue. Thank you for responding though.
