Here is a class that does what you want from the description above. The only difference is that I placed the call to writeProgeress inside of an anonymous function.
What else is different with it from your class?
classdef WP < handle
properties
x
y
end
methods
function obj = WP(varargin)
obj.x = pi;
obj.y = 'hello world';
t = timer('TimerFcn',@(src,evt)obj.writeProgress,'Period',1,'ExecutionMode','fixedDelay');
start(t)
end
end
methods (Access=private)
function writeProgress(obj)
disp(obj.x);
disp(obj.y);
end
end
end
