HIDE( [ first control ] [, last control ] )

HIDE	Hides window controls.
first control	Field number or field equate label of a control, or the first control in a range of controls. If omitted, defaults to zero (0).

ENTRY(@S30),USE(Ctl:Name)

BUTTON('OK'),USE(?OkButton),KEY(EnterKey)

BUTTON('Cancel'),USE(?CanxButton),KEY(EscKey)

END
