Syntax

flag = isInactivePropertyImpl(obj,prop)

Description

flag = isInactivePropertyImpl(obj,prop) specifies whether a public, non-state property is inactive and not visible for the current object configuration. An inactive property is a property that is not relevant to the object because of the values of other properties. Inactive properties are not shown if you use the disp method to display object properties. If you attempt to use public access to directly access or use get or set on an inactive property, a warning occurs.

isInactiveProperty is called by the disp method and by the get and set methods.

Note

You must set Access = protected for this method.

Input Arguments

obj

System object™ handle

prop

Public, non-state property name

Output Arguments

flag

Inactive status Indicator of the input property prop for the current object configuration, returned as a logical scalar value

    end
  end
end
