How can I use a for loop to fill the 'String' property for many pop-up menus in a GUI???

So I am trying to use a shortcut to set the 'String' property of a pop up menu in my GUI once it opens up. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

 function untitled_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)  

% This function has no output args, see OutputFcn.

% hObject    handle to figure

% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB

% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

% varargin   command line arguments to untitled (see VARARGIN)

% Choose default command line output for untitled

   handles.output = hObject;

% Update handles structure

   guidata(hObject, handles);

hpvalues = [0.7 1.5 3.0 10 30 100 300 500];

   for i = 1:16

      set(handles.HighPass_CH(i), 'String', hpvalues)
   end

%Basically I have 16 pop up menus to set the high pass filter on an amp...one button per channel. Each button is tagged HighPass_CH1, HighPass_CH2, etc..

Any ideas?

 for i = 1:16  
highpass=strcat('HighPass_CH',num2str(i)),
set(handles.(highpass), 'String', hpvalues) %hpvalues must be a string 
end

%this code will set 16 popmenu named : HighPass1 HighPass2,... if your names are saved in a cell array HighPass, instead of a second line use

 highpass=char(HighPass_CH(i))

   for i = 1 : length(hpvalues)
      set(handles.HighPass_CH(i), 'String', num2str(hpvalues(i)) )
   end
