listbox count items help

Hi, Im trying to find out how many items are listed in my listbox, I've tried:

lc=get(handles.listbox1, 'count')

But get the following error

Error using hg.uicontrol/get

The name 'count' is not an accessible property for an instance of class 'uicontrol'.

str = get( handles.listbox1, 'String' )
lc = numel( str );

If you want to see all the properties of a UI handle object such as a listbox you can just type:

get( handles.listbox1 )

and it will display all the properties in the command window. You can often use that as a way to work out what property you need.
