List dialog - Prompt text overlapp

Hello,

I am trying to create a list dialog that accept a user input. I find that the prompt text doesn't display well and is overlapped with list. How to increase spacing between prompt text and list?

prompt = 'Select synchronization type for code generation (default=Trigg Mode)';
fn = {'Trigg Mode', 'SetAO Mode'};
[syncMode,tf] = listdlg('PromptString',prompt,'SelectionMode','single', ... 
    'ListString',fn,'ListSize',[200,100],'OKString','Select', 'Name','Select Sync Mode');

Changing 'ListSize' parameter only increases overall size of the window and doesn't solve the problem.

From the documentation,

"If you specify the prompt as a character vector that is longer than the width of the dialog box, the prompt clips. To create a multiline list box prompt, specify the prompt as a cell array or string array. Line breaks occur between each array element. Long elements wrap to fit the dialog box."

Try this

prompt = ["Select synchronization type for code","generation (default=Trigg Mode)"];
fn = {'Trigg Mode', 'SetAO Mode'};
[syncMode,tf] = listdlg('PromptString',prompt,'SelectionMode','single', ... 
    'ListString',fn,'ListSize',[200,100],'OKString','Select', 'Name','Select Sync Mode');

Converting prompt text from character vector to string array or character array still didnt fix the issue. The prompt text is still clipped. Even earlier, I could see the text run over to a new line. Is the 'ListSize' parameters affecting the wrap around?

It worked for me. This is what I see when I run the code I shared.

You do need to make each line a separate element. Otherwise, it just wraps.

Yes! That was happening. I overlooked the comma seperation in your answer and just focused on converting character vector to string array. It works now
