timerfindall

Find all timer objects that match property criteria, including hidden timers.

📝Syntax

out = timerfindall()
out = timerfindall('PropertyName', PropertyValue, ...)
out = timerfindall(t, 'PropertyName', PropertyValue, ...)
out = timerfindall(values)

📥Input Arguments

Parameter	Description
t	Timer object array used as the search source.
PropertyName, PropertyValue	Property criteria. Returned timers must match all requested values.
values	Scalar structure whose fields contain property criteria.

📤Output Arguments

Parameter	Description
out	Array of matching timer objects, including objects whose ObjectVisibility property is off.

📄Description

timerfindall returns timer objects that match all specified property criteria. Unlike timerfind, it includes hidden timers.

It can also return timer objects whose original variable has gone out of scope, until those timers are deleted.

💡Examples

Find a hidden timer by tag.

t = timer('ObjectVisibility', 'off', ...
  'Tag', 'demo-hidden', ...
  'TimerFcn', @(src, event) disp('hidden'));
visibleOnly = timerfind('Tag', 'demo-hidden')
includingHidden = timerfindall('Tag', 'demo-hidden')
delete(t);

Use a criteria structure.

t = timer('Name', 'criteriaTimer', ...
  'Tag', 'criteria', ...
  'TimerFcn', @(src, event) disp('criteria'));
criteria = struct('Name', 'criteriaTimer', 'Tag', 'criteria');
found = timerfindall(criteria)
delete(t);
