Is there any function for automatic completion of a structural variable?

3 views (last 30 days)
For example, when I type a variable of handles of a control on GUI, matlab doesn't show some variables available in the structural handles.
Is there any way to see whole list of variables in a struct at once when I type like, handles.blahblah.
When I was using MFC, there was such a function in Visual Studio and it was really convenient.
Please let me know and I'd really appreciate it.

It depends. When the program is running and e.g. stopped by the debugger, you can use the TAB-autocompletion. But during editing, the field names of a struct (not "structural", which is something else) are not necessarily known, such that an auto-completion cannot be successful. A static code analysis might be misleading also, because fields can be created dynamically also. Example:
S.Field1 = 1;
if rand > 0.5
S.Field2 = 2;
else
S.Field3 = 3;
end
S.[Auto-completion cannot work here!]
