I need to generate a GUI that displays a random number between 0-10000 everytime "Button" is pressed

- I am really not sure how to go about this and any help would be great. I have the GUI set up, but not sure what type of text box to use or how to set it to display

function YourGUI
FigH = figure('Name', 'Your GUI', ...
  'IntegerHandle', 'off', ...
  'MenuBar',       'none', ...
  'NumberTitle',   'off', ...
  'Resize',        'off', ...
  'Units',         'pixels', ...
  'Position',      [200, 200, 300, 120], ...
  'NextPlot',      'add');
DispH = uicontrol('Style', 'edit', 'String', '', ...
   'Enable', 'inactive', ...  % Cannot be edited
   'Position', [10, 60, 280, 50], ...
   'FontSize', 24, 'HorizontalAlignment', 'Center');
ButtonH = uicontrol('Style', 'PushButton', 'String', 'Click on me', ...
   'Position', [50, 10, 200, 30], ...
   'FontSize', 16, ...
   'Callback', {@ButtonCB, DispH});
end

function ButtonCB(BunttonH, EventData, DispH)
Num = randi([0, 10000]);   % Integer
% Or: Num = rand * 10000;  % Floating point
set(DispH, 'String', sprintf('%g', Num));
end

Create a uicontrol('style', 'text') with appropriate 'Units' and 'Position' setting. Record its handle somewhere. Then each time the button is pressed, create a random number in the appropriate range and set the String property of the uicontrol to the number.

Sorry but what do you mean by record the handle somewhere?
