I am using app designer and still getting familiar with it. I want each of the individual items to be wrapped text instead of a scroll bar. Is there any way to do this? Thank you!

In general, for uicontrol components you would use textwrap, but it doesn't work in App Designer.
Some of them, such as uibutton, have a property named WordWrap that you can set to 'on', but, to my knowledge, you can't do it with with uilistbox.
The only option I think is do it manually, as suggested here.
lbox = uilistbox('Items', {['This is a' newline 'long list name'], ...
'Short one', ...
'Short two', ...
'Short three'}, ...
'Position', [125 120 100 78]);
