**This template (and its associated code templates) has been deprecated, and is now replaced by the [[tplcontrolrtf.htm|RTF Text Control]] template.**

The ShowRTFRuler code template is used to simply either Hide or Unhide the default ruler bar. This template calls the ShowRuler method. A TRUE value is passed to the method to Unhide the ruler bar. A FALSE value is passed to the ShowRuler method to Hide the ruler bar.

** Prototype:**

**ShowRuler( **//TabStatus //**)**

**Example method calls:**

**oRTF_RTFTextBox.ShowRuler( 1 ) !Unhide ruler**

**oRTF_RTFTextBox.ShowRuler( 0 ) !Hide ruler**

**Template Prompts:**

**Associated RTF control**

Select the RTF control from the drop-down list. All controls on the Window are included in the list. This field in required.

**Show Ruler?**

Check this box to make the ruler visible (Unhide). If the box is cleared, the ruler will be hidden at runtime.
