How to display a complex number in edit in GUI?

As in the question, I use

set(handles.B       ,'String',B      );

to display a complex number in an edit, but it seems only real part are displayed. How can I display a complex number like

a+ib

in an edit box?

Make a second edit box right next to it that only displays the imaginary part and is labeled with an i (or j if you are that type)

Since B is a number type, you should make it string type so try this >> set(handles.B, 'String', ({num2str(B)}));
