Dynamic Listboxes in GUI

Hello everyone! I am trying to populate a listbox in GUI with just excel files. I use the following code to get a structure of file names:
list = dir('C:\Users\Dimitri\Desktop\Project\*.xlsx');
num_files_found = sum(~cellfun(@isempty,{list.name}));
for i= 1:num_files_found
a = list(i)
a = a.name
str{i} = a
end
Now I'm trying to instert this string using:
set(handles.listbox1,'String',str)
Like some of the other solution online tell me to do, but nothing works, sometimes I get errors, and other times nothing happens.
Can someone please explain where exactly to put what in this code for this to work.
function varargout = new_study_gui(varargin)
% NEW_STUDY_GUI MATLAB code for new_study_gui.fig
% Begin initialization code - DO NOT EDIT
gui_Singleton = 1;
gui_State = struct('gui_Name', mfilename, ...
'gui_Singleton', gui_Singleton, ...
'gui_OpeningFcn', @new_study_gui_OpeningFcn, ...
'gui_OutputFcn', @new_study_gui_OutputFcn, ...
'gui_LayoutFcn', [] , ...
'gui_Callback', []);
if nargin && ischar(varargin{1})
gui_State.gui_Callback = str2func(varargin{1});
end
if nargout
[varargout{1:nargout}] = gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
else
gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
end
% End initialization code - DO NOT EDIT

That code should work. What error do you receive?
It might make more sense to put the code inside listbox1_CreateFcn .
Note: you can simplify the code to
list = dir('C:\Users\Dimitri\Desktop\Project\*.xlsx');
str = {list.name};
set(handles.listbox1,'String',str)

Walter, I am getting the following:
_
"Reference to non-existent field 'listbox1'.
Error in new_study_gui>new_study_gui_OpeningFcn (line 67) set (handles.listbox1, 'String', str)
Error in gui_mainfcn (line 220) feval(gui_State.gui_OpeningFcn, gui_hFigure, [], guidata(gui_hFigure), varargin{:});
Error in new_study_gui (line 42) gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});"
