Visible property in Form object

[ghale]

I think that a Visible(I/O) property for Form object, can be a better alternative to the Visible property of a control on the form, when I need to check if the form is active or not.

Can this be implemented in a future release of Basic4PPC?

This can be done with the door library. It can also be set.

obj.New1(false)
obj.FromControl("Form1")
  If (obj.GetProperty("Visible")) then obj.SetProperty("Visible",false)

Ok, this is a good way to accomplish this, sure.

But in this way I have to add a library (door.dll) to the project.

And for a beginners (like me) this can't be the easy way to learn using Basic4PPC.

This is my think, however your suggest is a good one.

Thanks!

I think that a readonly Visible property is an important feature and it will be added.

Setting is done with Form.Show or Form.Hide. Note that it is not recommended to bypass these methods with the door library.

Thank you very much.
