I would like to get names of only highlighted sheets. There are about 50 excel files I will load these files together using pushbutton and parallely I want these only 4 sheetnames (with sheet no. 10,12,13,14 respectively) in listboxdata. All the excel files have same format so position of sheets are fixed.

use xlsinfo,
[status,sheets] = xlsfinfo(filename)
then sheets is a cell array with all the sheet names in your file. Since you already know the indices, you can get them by,
wanted_sheets = sheets(1,[10,12,13,14])

Alright. Do you have all these files in the same folder? if so you don't have to use uigetfile,
folderInfo = dir('foldername\*xls'); %assuming only the files you want exist
filenames = {folderInfo.name};
sheets = cell(size(filenames));
for k=1:numel(filenames)
[~,sheets{k}] = xlsfinfo(filename{k});
end
