get (COM) (External Interfaces Reference)

Get property value from interface, or display properties

Syntax

V = h.get
V = h.get('propertyname')
V = get(h, ...)

Description

V = h.get returns a list of all properties and their values for the object or interface, h.

V = h.get('propertyname') returns the value of the property specified in the string, propertyname.

V = get(h, ...) is an alternate syntax for the same operation.

Remarks

The meaning and type of the return value is dependent upon the specific property being retrieved. The object's documentation should describe the specific meaning of the return value. MATLAB may convert the data type of the return value. See Converting Data in the External Interfaces documentation for a description of how MATLAB converts COM data types.

Examples

Create a COM server running Microsoft Excel:

```
e = actxserver ('Excel.Application');
```

Retrieve a single property value:

e.Path
ans =
   D:\Applications\MSOffice\Office

Retrieve a list of all properties for the CommandBars interface:

c = e.CommandBars.get
ans = 
              Application: [1x1 
Interface.excel.application.CommandBars.Application]
                  Creator: 1.4808e+009
            ActionControl: []
            ActiveMenuBar: [1x1 
Interface.excel.application.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar]
                    Count: 94
          DisplayTooltips: 1
    DisplayKeysInTooltips: 0
             LargeButtons: 0
       MenuAnimationStyle: 'msoMenuAnimationNone'
                   Parent: [1x1 
Interface.excel.application.CommandBars.Parent]
            AdaptiveMenus: 0
