OML-table does not support string

Hello community,
I created a GUI that includes a table. Is there a way to fill this table cells with strings?
When I write letters into a cell and press enter they just disappear.
best regards
Nils

Nills,
I think that by default the table column will be comprised by scalars if you do not determine its type, therefore you will never be able to add strings instead of scalars in each of these fields.

Nils,
Roberta is right.
If you want to use a table with strings, you need to set the 'data' property as a cell of strings, when you create it.
Here a simple example:
uitable('data', {'entry11','entry12';'entry21','entry22'},'position',[100 100 300 300]);
Cheers,
Lorenzo
