Displaying Source Control Properties of a File

You can display the properties of a single file from the source control system. Note that you cannot display the properties of multiple files. To display the properties of a file:

1. Select Source Control -> Show Properties from the File menu in the MATLAB Editor, Simulink model, or Stateflow model.

1. A dialog box from the source control system being used opens. Below is a Microsoft Visual SourceSafe properties dialog box.

Function Alternative for Displaying File Properties

Note    For MATLAB command window access to the source control interface, you must first create a window and get its handle. See Using the Source Control Interface from the MATLAB Command Window for instructions on doing this.

Use properties as the first argument in the verctrl function to display the properties of a file. Note that the verctrl function with the properties argument returns a logical 1 to the workspace if the file has changed on disk or a logical 0 to the workspace if the file has not changed on disk. The verctrl function with the properties argument has this form:

• fileChange = verctrl('properties','D:\file.ext',winhandle);
