How to create a prompt box like the one that appears in tutorials?

When you open a Matlab tutorial for App Designer you see a series of prompt boxes(I don't think they are called that way) that ask you to type something, add a callback etc. How do I create that kind of staff?

Here's a snippet:

promptMessage = sprintf('Do you want to Continue processing,\nor Quit processing?');
titleBarCaption = 'Continue?';
buttonText = questdlg(promptMessage, titleBarCaption, 'Continue', 'Quit', 'Continue');
if contains(buttonText, 'Quit', 'IgnoreCase', true)
	return; % or break or continue.
end

and another one:

% Ask user for one integer number.
defaultValue = 45;
titleBar = 'Enter an integer value';
userPrompt = 'Enter the integer';
dialogBoxWidth = 100;
caUserInput = inputdlg(userPrompt, titleBar, [1, dialogBoxWidth], {num2str(defaultValue)});
if isempty(caUserInput),return,end % Bail out if they clicked Cancel.
% Round to nearest integer in case they entered a floating point number.
integerValue = round(str2double(cell2mat(caUserInput)));
% Check for a valid integer.
if isnan(integerValue)
	% They didn't enter a number.
	% They clicked Cancel, or entered a character, symbols, or something else not allowed.
	integerValue = defaultValue;
	message = sprintf('I said it had to be an integer.\nTry replacing the user.\nI will use %d and continue.', integerValue);
	uiwait(warndlg(message));
end

% Ask user for two floating point numbers.
defaultValue = {'45.67', '78.91'};
titleBar = 'Enter values';
userPrompt = {'Enter floating point number 1 : ', 'Enter floating point number 2: '};
caUserInput = inputdlg(userPrompt, titleBar, 1, defaultValue);
if isempty(caUserInput),return,end % Bail out if they clicked Cancel.
% Convert to floating point from string.
usersValue1 = str2double(caUserInput{1})
usersValue2 = str2double(caUserInput{2})
% Check usersValue1 for validity.
if isnan(usersValue1)
	% They didn't enter a number.
	% They clicked Cancel, or entered a character, symbols, or something else not allowed.
	% Convert the default from a string and stick that into usersValue1.
	usersValue1 = str2double(defaultValue{1});
	message = sprintf('I said it had to be a number.\nTry replacing the user.\nI will use %.2f and continue.', usersValue1);
	uiwait(warndlg(message));
end
% Do the same for usersValue2
% Check usersValue2 for validity.
if isnan(usersValue2)
	% They didn't enter a number.
	% They clicked Cancel, or entered a character, symbols, or something else not allowed.
	% Convert the default from a string and stick that into usersValue2.
	usersValue2 = str2double(defaultValue{2});
	message = sprintf('I said it had to be a number.\nTry replacing the user.\nI will use %.2f and continue.', usersValue2);
	uiwait(warndlg(message));
end

Hi, I know prompt box is not the correct name but I dont know how to call it. I was referring to that kind of staff

That's a popup balloon, like a tool tip string but I don't know how to create them. A tooptip string is simple text and that balloon has formatting like bolding and font sizes. App Designer is more powerful than GUIDE but not as powerful as Visual Studio. Perhaps there is a way. But personally I don't know how.
