How to create a dialogbox with two or more input fields BESIDES EACH OTHER?

INTRO: Hi, I wrote the script below to make a video with images stored in a folder.

clear all; close all;
prompt                  =   {'ENTER THE PATH:','ENTER THE VIDEO NAME:','ENTER THE NUMBER:','ENTER THE PLAYBACK RATE:'};
dlg_title               =   'MAKE VIDEO';
num_lines               =   1;
def                     =   {'C:\Users\EMERSON\Desktop\test','test','10','5'};
answer                  =   inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,def);

oldFolder               =   cd (answer{1,1});
writerObj               =   VideoWriter('answer{2,1}');
NUMBER_OF_FRAMES        =   str2num(answer{3,1});
FRAME_RATE              =   str2num(answer{4,1});
writerObj.FrameRate     =   FRAME_RATE;

open(writerObj);
for k                   =   1 :1: NUMBER_OF_FRAMES
  filename = sprintf('%d.bmp', k);
  thisimage = imread(filename);
  writeVideo(writerObj, thisimage);
end
close(writerObj);

mkdir('answer{2,1}');

cd(oldFolder);

As you can see, the input dialog has 4 lines BELOW each other to enter the variables.

QUESTION-1: I would like to have TWO input lines BESIDES instead of BELOW each other. The dialogbox should look like below:

ENTER THE PATH    ENTER THE VIDEO NAME
input      input
ENTER THE NUMBER  ENTER THE PLAYBACK RATE
input      input

QUESTION-2: The name of the video is not being used as a string. It saves as answer{2,1}.avi instead of test.avi.

QUESTION-3: Similar to above, I want to create a new folder using the name of the file as the name of the new folder. But it creates a folder named answer{2,1} instead of test.

So I wonder if someone could help me to correct the lines above to do what I want.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi, questions 2 and 3 are solved by:

FILENAME=strcat(answer{2,1});
writerObj=VideoWriter(FILENAME);
mkdir(FILENAME);

Now only question 1 is pending

inputdlg() is not designed to be able to show prompts beside each other. You would have to make a copy of it and edit the copy to do what you wanted.

Hello

I found this reply..but very old (==>2011), and the modified inputdlgcol.m does not work with R2022b. :-(

I am interested in a simple-to-call dialog box widget on several lines and columns...
