Just use the MAGIC framework to get started. It does all that and has template code for all the possible controls you might want to use.

It is a very good starting point for a typical image analysis application.

If you are using the normal GUI builder, then you create automatically functions for the handles. Put under your buttonfunction the follow commands:

for opening file you can use this function:

for opening a folder you can use:

http://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/uigetdir.html

save the this path. I use for this setappdata.

http://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/setappdata.html?searchHighlight=setappdata

then you need to recall your figure function and update it.

you can now can get the path by using getappdata

Few work example are given by Doug Hull, you should check these. They explained a lot for me.
