How can I make a editbox show what is happening in the command window?

Hi

I need help to make a gui editbox code, that allows the numbers in the command window yo be shown in a editbox during the calculation.

I've have a video of the problem, select HD and full screen and you can see my mouse showing what numbers I want to appear in my editbox.

Im NOT looking for the final number, because I cant wait until the calculation is done and then make the command window send the number to my editbox. I need it to do it while its calculating. Due to the fact that it's a iterative process that I have to cancel if the numbers are two far apart.

If no one can help, can anyone help me with a homepage where I can buy the expert help I'm seeking.?

What is happening that is causing the numbers to show up at the command window?

Whatever function is printing this should be called from within the GUI and returning the values so that the GUI can update the 'String' of the edit boxes.

If it's user interaction in the command window, there is not a documented way to do this.

Its a loop, that its doing, to solve a eigenvalue problem. Where is finding the bearing capacity equal to the load.

I don't think I can put the loop inside the string of the editbox?

Why can't you just put a set(handles.textLabel, 'String', yourstring) inside your loop? You'll probably also need a drawnow.

Ive just tried that, this is one of the loops. And this is the error I get. (I've paste the first loop of my program in the bottom.)

Error using set

Ambiguous property found.

Object Name : uicontrol

Property Name : 'H'.

This is my code for the first loop case.

<while stop>0

    switch Beregning %#ok<*ALIGN>

        case 1
            while e_while<0
                H
                [dr,E1,E2,z1,z2,F]=Fit_dr(Dybde,e_jord,f_jord,h_ult,H);
                dr,E1,E2,z1,z2,F ;
                [Hd,Vd,Md]=Beregn_Hd_Vd_Md(d,D,E1,E2,z1,z2,F,H,Vm,M);  %Beregning af Hd, Vd, Md                
                e=Md/Vd;

                if  e>D/2 
                    H=H-10;
                    M=H*h_ult;
                    e_while=-1;
                    set(handles.result, 'H','')
                elseif e<=0
                    H=H+10;
                    M=H*h_ult;
                    e_while=-1;
                    set(handles.result, 'H','')
                else
                    e_while=+1;
                    Beregning=2;

                end
