Display list of values using drop down list

Hi, I want to create a drop down list and the corresponding value (example some variables) has to be displayed when selected. How can this be achieved. Appreciate your support!

For Example, I would like to create a drop down list similar to it

Use GUIDE to place a popup control on the GUI figure. Then double click it and edit the 'String' property. http://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/category/gui-or-guide/

Programmatically you can change what appears by setting the string property of the popup control:

strings = {'Select a city', 'Honolulu', 'San Diego', 'Scottsdale', 'Hong Kong');
handles.popup1.Strings = strings;

doc uicontrol

gives examples, including a 'popup' menu which is what you want.

Hi, I have provided an image reference for what I am expecting

Well, it depends how you have stored the data. I would probably use

doc containers.Map

as e.g.

temperatureMap = containers.Map( { 'Delhi', 'Bangalore', 'Chennai', 'Hyderabad' },  [ 20, 25, 24, 22 ] );

Then in the callback of your popup menu you can get the string as e.g.

city = hPopup.Sting( hPopup.Value );

and access temperature as

temperatureMap( city )

which you can then put into a text control.

Thanks Adam for the answer. Can I achieve this in simulation that is during runtime? i.e. in a dialog box. If yes, how to create such buttons in matlab which can work similar to drop down list.

As I said in my original answer:

doc uicontrol

There are examples there.
