isprop - Determine whether input is COM object property

Syntax

tf = h.isprop('propertyname')
tf = isprop(h, 'propertyname')

Description

tf = h.isprop('propertyname') returns logical 1 (true) if the specified name is a property of COM object h. Otherwise, returns logical 0 (false).

tf = isprop(h, 'propertyname') is an alternate syntax.

Examples

Test a property of an instance of a Microsoft Excel application:

h = actxserver ('Excel.Application');
isprop(h, 'UsableWidth')

MATLAB displays true, UsableWidth is a property.

Try the same test on SaveWorkspace:

isprop(h, 'SaveWorkspace')

MATLAB displays false. SaveWorkspace is not a property; it is a method.
