====== VISIBLE property (GUI) ======


 
==== Description ====
 
 
Specifies if a control is visible or not.
 
 
 
 
==== Property Value ====
 
 
The VISIBLE property is an integer value that specifies how the control is displayed.  For a standard control it can be one of the following values:
 
 
 
^Value^Description^
|0|The control is hidden.|
|1|The control is visible.|
 
 
 
 
 
 
==== Property Traits ====
 
 
 
^Development^Runtime^Indexed^Scaled^Synthetic^
|Get/Set|Get/Set|No|No|No|

 


 
==== Remarks ====
 
 
The VISIBLE property is implemented internally using the ShowWindow() Windows API function and the property value actually corresponds to the function's nCmdShow parameter values.  For most controls only the SW_SHOW (1) and SW_HIDE(0) values apply, while other typoes such as WINDOW objects support more.
 
 
 
Constants for these values are defined in the MSWIN_SHOWWINDOW_EQUATES insert record.
 
 
 
 
 
 
==== Example ====
 
<code>
 
$Insert MsWin_ShowWindow_Equates

   

   // Example - Hiding a control

   Call Set_Property_Only( ctrlEntID, "VISIBLE", SW_HIDE$ )
 
 
 

</code>
