Hello Yair,
is it possible to set the text background color as well (not for the whole command window)?

Would italicized text be possible?

In reply to Ahmed. @Ahmed - you can use COM to place the text/data in an Excel/Word/PowerPoint file and then color the relevant parts just as you would do manually. Basically you need to invoke a series of COM (=VBA) commands from Matlab, but for the specific details you will need to search elsewhere. This is way beyond the scope of a post comment.

Dear Yair,
Great effort, From some of the previous discussion can I conclude that I can’t use cprintf to print text to a file in color?
Is there an alternative way to print colorful text to files?. I don’t need text to be displayed in command window I need it in a file.

In reply to CH. You need to set the callbacks to update the text dynamically, of course. If you'd like me to help you debug your specific issue, contact me by email for a short consulting.

In reply to Yair Altman. If I use the following line

set(handles.status,'String',cwText);

in the status box of my GUI, it does not show the updated outputs dynamically. I could see only first several lines which depends on the status box size.

In reply to CH. @CH - What exactly are you trying to set hh to?! what's wrong with setting your status box directly to cwText?
