How to get Handle of an list's element selected in AppDesigner?

Dear Matlab community,

In GUIDE it was easy to get the string and value of a element selected in e.g. a ListBox. In AppDesigner however I am only able to get the string. I can only indirecly get the value using strcmp.

In GUIDE:

function listbox1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
index_selected = get(hObject,'Value');

How to get the value of the ListBox in AppDesigner??

Regards, Wim

Hello Matt,

Thanks for your answer, but that will give me the string. I want to have the number (value) of my selection.

 % Value changed function: ListBox
        function ListBoxValueChanged(app, event)
            value = app.ListBox.Value;
            assignin('base', 'value', value)
        end

If you load the ItemsData property with corresponding numbers,

app.ListBox.ItemsData=1:numel(app.ListBox.Items);

then 'Value' will fetch you the corresponding Index.

Thanks a lot!
