I'm a fan of sprintf():
txtInfo = sprintf('Your number = %.3f.\nYour string = %s', yourNumber, yourString);
set(handles.txtInfo, 'String', txtInfo);
Obviously use whatever tag you've assigned for that static text label control. Maybe it's text1, txtResults, or whatever...

you handle it just like an edit box by setting the handle parameter 'string' to a string. so converting the variable from a double to a string would work.
example
%code in a sample pushbutton
number = randi(10);
set(handles.text1,'string',['random generated number: ' num2str(number)])
