How can i index various objects using a variable in their name?

I don't know if the question makes sens as stated, but what i meant is this:

say i have 10 different edit boxes in my GUI, that I named edit_1 to edit-10 what i want is a way to call them without writing the same thing 10 times. I would like something like that for example:

for k=1:10 set(handles.edit_k,'visible', 'on'); end

is it possible?

thanks

You can dynamically refer to different edit boxes by enclosing the field name in parentheses and supplying the numerical argument. This ought to get the behaviour you are looking for:

for k = 1:10, set(handles.(['edit_',num2str(k)]),'Visible','on'); end

works great! thanks
