function obj = BasicHandle(val)

if nargin > 0

obj.Prop1 = val;

end

end

end

end

Create a BasicHandle object and use it in a switch statement:

h1 = BasicHandle('Handle Object');

h2 = h1;

Here is the switch statement code:

switch h1

case h2

disp('h2 is selected')

otherwise

disp('h2 not selected')

end

The result is:

h2 is selected

Object Must Be Scalar

The switch statements work only with scalar objects. For example:

h1(1) = BasicHandle('Handle Object');

h1(2) = BasicHandle('Handle Object');

h1(3) = BasicHandle('Handle Object');

h2 = h1;

switch h1

case h2

disp('h2 is selected')

otherwise

disp('h2 not selected')

end
