change text in a msgbox

Hi everyone. I have a msgbox pop up with some information for the user, and I'd like to change the text at different points in the program so the user know whats going on. I could just close the msgbox and create a new one, but I thought it might be a little more elegant to just change the text. Is this possible?

% Create a msgbox

h = msgbox('Hi');

% Change just the message

set(findobj(h,'Tag','MessageBox'),'String','How are you?')

% Make the pushbutton invisible

set(findobj(h,'style','pushbutton'),'Visible','off')

If the user closes the message box then you should create a new one.

On the other hand you can just create a modal msgbox that follows the first one and replaces it:

msgbox('Hi');
msgbox('How are you','modal');

Thanks Oleg! The first method you suggest is perfect.
