GUI development: input dialog box fitting into sub-panel of panel

Hello! I would like to create an input dialog box which gathers info from the user. The problem I am facing is that I would like it to fit into a sub-panel, part of a bigger panel. How can I do that?

I have tried to add it as a parent of a previously created panel, but it doesn't seem to work.

Option 1 does create it in a separate window, option 2 doesn't work (see attached code).

% Main Window
%================
figure('MenuBar','none','Name','My_GUI_w_PopupMenus','NumberTitle','off','Position',[400,400,1000,600]);
% uicontrol('Style','frame','Position',[20 400 300 180],'foregroundcolor',[1 0 0]);
% uipanel('Style','frame','Position',[20 400 30 18],'foregroundcolor',[1 0 0]);
% uipanel('Title','UI Panel 1','Position', [157.6  30.308  62.4  12.615],'Color');

% Sub-windows
%==============
% Main left window
hp = uipanel('Title','Array creation','FontSize',9,'BackgroundColor','white','Position',[0.02 0.04 0.4 0.92]);
% Sub-window 1
hsp = uipanel('Parent',hp,'Title','Basic constants','FontSize',8,'Position',[0.04 0.7 0.9 0.275]);
% Sub-window 2
hsp = uipanel('Parent',hp,'Title','Lattice type:','FontSize',8,'Position',[0.04 0.4 0.9 0.275]);

% dialog box gathers user's input
dlg_title = 'Input';
num_lines = 1;
def = {'20','hsv'};

% % option 1
% answer = inputdlg({'Enter matrix size:','Enter colormap name:'},dlg_title,num_lines,def,[400,200]);

% option 2
answer = inputdlg('Parent',hp,{'Enter matrix size:','Enter colormap name:'},dlg_title,num_lines,def,[400,200]);

I am new to GUI development so it might just be a very stupid question :)
