Inspect Class Instance

Create an EmployeeData object and determine property access settings:

EdObj = EmployeeData('My Name',1234567);

mcEdObj = metaclass(EdObj);

mpArray = mcEdObj.PropertyList;

EdObj.(mpArray(1).Name) % Dynamic field names work with objects

The value of the EmployeeName property is the text My Name, which was assigned in the

constructor.

ans =

My Name

The value of the EmployeeNumber property is not accessible because the property has

private Access.

EdObj.(mpArray(2).Name)

You cannot get the 'EmployeeNumber' property of EmployeeData.

mpArray(2).GetAccess

ans =

private

Obtain a function handle to the EmployeeName property set access function:

mpArray(1).SetMethod

ans =

@D:\MyDir\@EmployeeData\EmployeeData.m>EmployeeData.set.EmployeeName

Metaclass EnumeratedValues Property

The meta.class EnumeratedValues property contains an array of

meta.EnumeratedValue objects, one for each enumeration member. Use the

meta.EnumeratedValue Name property to obtain the enumeration member names

defined by an enumeration class. For example, given the WeekDays enumeration class:

classdef WeekDays

enumeration

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

end

end
