addproperty (External Interfaces Reference)

Add custom property to object

Syntax

h.addproperty('propertyname')
addproperty(h, 'propertyname')

Description

h.addproperty('propertyname') adds the custom property specified in the string, propertyname, to the object or interface, h. Use set to assign a value to the property.

addproperty(h, 'propertyname') is an alternate syntax for the same operation.

Examples

Create an mwsamp control and add a new property named Position to it. Assign an array value to the property:

f = figure('position', [100 200 200 200]);
h = actxcontrol('mwsamp.mwsampctrl.2', [0 0 200 200], f);
h.get
     Label: 'Label'
    Radius: 20

h.addproperty('Position');
h.Position = [200 120];
h.get
     Label: 'Label'
    Radius: 20
  Position: [200 120]

h.get('Position')
ans =
   200   120

Delete the custom Position property:

h.deleteproperty('Position');
h.get
     Label: 'Label'
    Radius: 20
