set(handles.popupmenu, 'Value', 1)

where popupmenu is replaced by the tag of the pop up menu.

Use addlistener to listen to 'PostSet' events of the string changing in other uicontrols.

function showStringUpdate

%Figure
hFig = figure;

%Listbox
hList = uicontrol('Style','listbox',...
            'Units','normalized',...
            'Position',[0.5 0.1 0.3 0.5],...
            'String',{'Hello World','It''s Friday','And a Three day Weekend!'},...
            'Max',1,... %Increase for multiselect
            'Value',1,...
            'Callback',[]);
%Editboxes

for ii = 3:-1:1
    h(ii) = uicontrol('Style','edit',...
                'Units','normalized',...
                'Position',[0.1 0.1*ii 0.3 0.1],...
                'String','Type in Me',...
                'Callback',[]);          
    addlistener(h(ii),'String','PostSet',@(src,evt)set(hList,'Value',1));         
end        

end

Save this, move the listbox selection to something else, and then type in any box.
