ismethod - Determine whether input is COM object method

Syntax

tf = h.ismethod('methodname')
tf = ismethod(h, 'methodname')

Description

tf = h.ismethod('methodname') returns logical 1 (true) if the specified methodname is a method you can call on COM object h. Otherwise, returns logical 0 (false).

tf = ismethod(h, 'methodname') is an alternate syntax.

COM functions are available on Microsoft Windows systems only.

Examples

Test members of an instance of a Microsoft Excel application:

h = actxserver ('Excel.Application');
ismethod(h, 'SaveWorkspace')

MATLAB displays true, SaveWorkspace is a method.

Try the same test on UsableWidth:

ismethod(h, 'UsableWidth')

MATLAB displays false, UsableWidth is not a method; it is a property.
