Create unkown number of checkboxes with UIControl

Hi Everyone!

In my code I'm required to create a number of checkboxes according to a number of lines in a file (which varies).

I know it's highly unrecommended to create variables and of course handles in a loop, so how can I apply this? Let's say I want to create: checkbox_1, checkbox_2, ...., checkbox_i And then extract the value of each checkbox in the end?

Great thanks in advance!

button_strings = {'Rozencratz', 'Guildensteen', 'Top Gun', 'The Invisible Man'};
numbut = length(button_strings);
for K = 1 : numbut
  button(K) = uicontrol('Style',...
                'radiobutton', 'Value', 0,
                'String', button_strings{K},...
                'Position',[10 200+K*20 100 30]);
 end

and later:

for K = 1 : numbut
  buttonval(K) = get(button(K), 'Value');
end
