Imagine that I have classes class1 and class2 and that class2 has a property parent that points to an instance of class1. Class1 has a function called myFunction. Both classes are handle classes. If I set a callback on a uitable in an old style figure (not sure if that is relevant), I get different behavior between the following and I'm curious why.
Approach 1 (in class2) - this doesn't work
h_table.Callback = @obj.parent.myFunction;
Approach 2 - this works
h_table.Callback = @p.myFunction
What's going on here?
I think this works as well although I haven't tested it
Approach 3 - works? (haven't tested)
h_table.Callback = @(a,b)obj.parent.myFunction(a,b);
Why does Approach 1 not work?
I'll note that if you look at the function handle using:
fh = @obj.parent.myFunction;
The resulting structure and info is very different.
For 1 I see: (roughly, modified from actual class names but I think this is accurate)
function: 'obj.parent.myFunction'
For 2 I see: (again, roughly)
function: '@(varargin)p.myFunction(varargin{:})'
workspace: {[1×1 struct]}
