Can properties of an object handle returned from a function be used without first assigning to a temporary variable?

To define static properties, you can use the CONSTANT keyword (thanks, @Nzbuu).

To define static properties, you can use the CONSTANT keyword (thanks, @Nzbuu) Here's one example from MathWorks (with some errors fixed): classdef NamedConst properties (Constant) R = pi/180; D = 1/NamedConst. R; AccCode = '0145968740001110202NPQ'; RN = rand(5); end end Constant properties are accessed as className. PropertyName, e.g.NamedConst.R.

The values of the properties are set whenever the class is loaded for the first time (after the start of Matlab, or after clear classes). Thus, NamedConst. RN will remain constant throughout a session as long as you don't call clear classes.

In relation to my comment above (in response to @nzbuu), I have used this method to solve my problem. The "static property" I added was a function that returns the handle I am interested in. It's a bit sneaky but it lets my work this into the existing program design with little impact.

Thank you. – Ryan Edwards Oct 18 '11 at 22:41 What about constant properties? – Nzbuu Oct 19 '11 at 12:12 @Nzbuu: D'oh!

I've fixed the answer. – Jonas Oct 19 '11 at 13:03.

Hmm, I don't like to disagree with Jonas and his 21.7k points, but I think you can do this using the hgsetget handle class instead of the normal handle class, and then using the get function. Function handle = GetHandle() handle = employee(); end classdef employee.

Don't worry, I still keep making mistakes or overlooking stuff, despite the gold badge :) – Jonas Oct 20 '11 at 21:47.

The only way to have a static property in MATLAB is as a constant: classdef someHandleClass.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
