HIDE
The HIDE attribute (PROP:HIDE) specifies the control does not appear when the WINDOW or APPLICATION is first opened. UNHIDE must be used to display it. In a REPORT, the control does not print unless the UNHIDE statement is used to allow it to print. PROP:HIDE may be used with the TARGET built-in variable to hide/unhide the current target window. Care must be taken when assigning PROP:HIDE at runtime. If it is assigned prior to opening the desired window, it may inadvertently affect another window TARGET.
Example:
Window WINDOW,PRE(Scr)
ENTRY(@N3),USE(Ctl:Code),HIDE !Hide by default
ENTRY(@S30),USE(Ctl:Name)
BUTTON('OK'),USE(?OkButton),KEY(EnterKey)
BUTTON('Cancel'),USE(?CanxButton),KEY(EscKey)
END
CODE
OPEN(Window)
?Ctl:Name{PROP:HIDE} = TRUE !Hide Name control
