I'd like to customize the display of an enumeration class using matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay .
If I have a regular (non-enumeration) class such as the following:
classdef test < handle & matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay
properties
value
end
methods
function obj = test(value)
obj.value = value;
end
end
methods (Access = protected)
function displayScalarObject(obj)
disp(['hello ', num2str(obj.value)])
end
end
end
then everything works fine - for example,
>> a = test(1)
a =
hello 1
But if I have an enumeration class such as the following (note the addition of the enumeration block):
classdef test < handle & matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay
properties
value
end
methods
function obj = test(value)
obj.value = value;
end
end
methods (Access = protected)
function displayScalarObject(obj)
disp(['hello ', num2str(obj.value)])
end
end
enumeration
enum1(1)
end
end
then the display is not customized - for example,
>> a = test.enum1
a =
enum1
Using the debugger, I can see that my displayScalarObject method is never called. Implementing other methods of matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay such as displayNonScalarObject and so on doesn't seem to help - these never get called either.
What's going on? Do disp and display work differently for enumeration classes, in such a way that anything that's overridden by matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay just gets ignored?
Is there a way to get a customized display with matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay , but using an enumeration class?
PS I am able to directly overload disp and/or display on an enumeration class that does not inherit from matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay , and this works fine. But I'm looking to use matlab.mixin.CustomDisplay if possible.

I tried your code and run into the same issue. It seems that this cannot be done.
However, you can override the “disp” and/or “display” in an enumeration class and implement the required code in it.
