Visible Property

Applies To

Description

This property specifies whether or not an object is currently visible. It is a single number with the value 0 (object is invisible) or 1 (object is visible). The default is 1. Setting Visible on and off is a way to pop a dialog box up and down as required.

Note that an invisible object is not necessarily inactive, and is capable of generating events. For example, a Button with a Cancel property of 1 will generate a Select (30) event (if enabled) whether or not it is visible. An invisible object will also respond to methods and events sent to it by ⎕NQ.
