Showing a table in msgbox

Hey.

I have given a table with students and their grades. I have to sort them and then display the table again. How can I display the table in a message box? Or in some other kind of popup window

I would use listdlg:

r = double('AZ');                                                       % Create Data
names = char(randi(r, 10,5));
grades = randi([70 99], 10,1);
the_list = {cat(2, names, repmat('     ', 10, 1), num2str(grades))};    % Create Data

[student_nr, sel] = listdlg('PromptString','Class Results','ListString',the_list);

This allows you to select a particular student, or not, as you wish.

I don't want to select a particular student.I just want to show the table in a box instead of in the command window? Sorry if my question was confusing...

You don’t have to do anything with the listdlg, although it gives you that option. It’s just the easiest way to display a list that I’m aware of.
