Set the Choice List automatically in a GUIDE table

In GUIDE, the table property editor allows to set a column format as 'choice list' effectively creating a drop down menu for each cell of his column. The various options that will appear in the choice list can be entered manually using the Choice List editor.
How can I program the Choice List so that the options are entered automatically instead of manually?
I also would like each cell of the column to be set with a different choice list if possible.
Thanks a lot

See the documentation on uitable properties.

The uitable doc has a good example with 'fixed/adj'. Look, for this example.
Thanks Walter and Sean, that now allows me to code a pop-up menu in the table rather than using the Choice List editor.
The only issue is that the drop down list is the same for each row of the colunm and I would like each row to have its deticated drop down list. Is that possible?
Thank you
Ps: I tried writing the columnformat vector as an array rather than rows so that Row1 has a drop down menu with {'Option1' 'Option2'}, Row2 has a drop down menu with {'Option3' 'Option4'}, etc. but it din't work. Any ideas?
columnformat = {{'Option1' 'Option2' ; 'Option3' 'Option4' ; 'Option5' 'Option6' ; 'Option7' 'Option8'}};
