.MAT variables to list box

I am trying to list the contents of a .MAT file in a list box. to choose which one to import into a CSV file. I am currently using a uiget command that outputs the .MAT file as a string. How do I access the contents of the .MAT file and export them to a list box? I am using 2007b

Thank you.

This should get you started.

MatFile=uigetfile('*.mat');
MyVar=load(MatFile);
VarNames=fieldnames(MyVar);

Do I need to use any of the set(handle. ' _____' ) commands? Thanks!

The above lines give you the variable names in your .mat file. You probably will need to use set() to put them into your listbox.

h=uicontrol('style','listbox','Position',[20 20 100 100]);

set(h,'string',VarNames);
