How can I sort(delete) contents in listbox?

Hello! I use listbox, and can add items to listbox and have to delete items from listbox. In case of adding, it works properly, but in case of delete & sort, it doesn't work ..! What's the problem with the code below?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

%adding items to listbox

function pushbutton3_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

oldList = get(handles.listbox1,'string');

newVal = PacketContent.title;

newList = [oldList; newVal];

%sort item

function pushbutton5_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

newList_sorted=sort(newList);

set(handles.listbox1,'string',newList_sorted);

Hi Haksun,

in your pushbutton5_Callback you need to define newList, e.g.

newList = get(handles.listbox1, 'string');

before doing the sort.

Edit: And what about delete? Pretty much the same

newList = get(handles.listbox1, 'string');
% e.g. remove Nr. 2
newList(2) = [];
set(handles.listbox1, 'string', newList, 'value', 1);

Note: you should always set the value to e.g. 1, because if you delete the last of newList, the value will be length(newList)+1, i.e., out of range (you will see this by a warning and a disappearing listbox).

Oh, thanks Titus

I thought, once I declare newList at button3's callback, it also works at button5's callback.

And then, how about delete items from listbox? I can't find out proper solution T.T

I will look forward your answer.

No. Each function is a separate function with a separate set of variables (workspace).
