How to insert string list to listbox in matlab GUI

I have small question concerning gui in matlab. I don't know exactly how to insert/apply list of string to listbox? I don't want to specify fixed list of string in property inspector.

strList = {'aaaa', 'yes', 'no', 'maybe', 'sure'};

or

strList = ['aaaa', 'yes', 'no', 'maybe', 'sure'];

a) To add the item at the end of your list (strList = {'aaaa', 'yes', 'no', 'maybe', 'sure'};):

strList{end+1} = 'add';

strList = 

'aaaa'    'yes'    'no'    'maybe'    'sure'    'add'

b) To insert the item at, for example, n=3:

strList = [strList(1:n-1), 'insert', strList(n:end)];

strList = 

'aaaa'    'yes'    'insert'    'no'    'maybe'    'sure'    'add'

To set the strings into the listbox:

hListBox = uicontrol('Style','List', 'String',strList);
set(hListBox, 'String', strList) 
% to get string from ListBox
strList = get(hListBox, 'String');

where hListBox is the handle for your listbox.
