i'm having some trouble. by using GUIDE i did created a 'edit text' bar and a 'push button'. User insert some data in the 'edit text' bar and continue by clicking the 'push button'. Once the 'push button' has been pressed, a popup message box (msgbox) will display the 'edit text''s value. Can some one guide me?

% This is the 'edit text' bar
% Get value from first name
function fname_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
first=get(hObject,'String');

% This is the 'push button'
function push_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)


Thank.

You need to GET the edit text box's String property _in the callback of the
pushbutton_. For that, you will need the handle of the edit box inside that
callback. If you're not sure how to do that, read this section of the
documentation:
