Yair Altman http://UndocumentedMatlab.com p.s. - you have used a setbehavior() function in your code. You're probably not aware that this is a built-in undocumented function that is used for other purposes by internal Matlab code, and might interfere with that code executing if you override the function as you did. Therefore, you may wish to change this function's name in your code

Actually I did that initially; but go the notice "it will take 5 days to approve" or something like that. I still can't even see the file any longer in my submission list. > > p.s. - you have used a setbehavior() function in your code. You're probably not aware that this is a built-in undocumented function that is used for other purposes by internal Matlab code, and might interfere with that code executing if you override the function as you did. Therefore, you may wish to change this function's name in your code Yes I wasn't aware, and am still not: I am on 7.9.0 and `which setbehavior` gives not found. Could it be part of a package? anyhow..

Isn't there even an undocumented, > unsupported, low-level, platform-specific way? Doug pointed you to OVEROBJ, which is an undocumented and unsupported way to do something close to what you want. You're welcome to make a copy of overobj.m and tweak it to suit your needs better. I'd also like to suggest that perhaps you should contact Technical Support and explain specifically what you're trying to do that requires this functionality, so that they can tell you if there's a way to do what you want (I'm not sure if there is or is not) and if not they can capture it as an enhancement request (with your use case attached as motivation.) You can contact Technical Support using the Contact Us link at the top of http://www.mathworks.com. -- Steve Lord slord(a)mathworks.com comp.soft-sys.matlab (CSSM) FAQ: http://matlabwiki.mathworks.com/MATLAB_FAQ
