Pantxo,

This looks like exactly what I was searching for.

Thank you,

Hi,

What you describe looks simple enough to be done with inputdlg, see "demo

If you need a more fine control on the user interface you could use
uicontrol , which unfortunately currently has no demo but is expected to
work as in Matlab.
