msgbox's only input is a string that it displays to the user. It does not accept input from the user, only from the programmer. If you want to accept input from the user, use questdlg() or inputdlg().

Try this code:
% Ask user for a number.
defaultValue = 45;
titleBar = 'Enter a value';
userPrompt = 'Enter the integer';
caUserInput = inputdlg(userPrompt, titleBar, 1, {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.\nI will use %d and continue.', integerValue);
uiwait(warndlg(message));
end

Not sure what that means and I didn't run the code. But if you want a response from a message box presented to the user, you're going to have to use questdlg() instead of msgbox().
