Method XbpActiveXControl():setVisible() Foundation
Assigns a value to the :visible instance variable.
Syntax
ASSIGN METHOD :setVisible( <xVisible> ) --> NIL
Parameters
<xVisible>
The value to be assigned to the :visible instance variable.
Return
The method always returns NIL.
Description
The method :setVisible() is executed automatically whenever an Xbase++ application assigns a value to an ActiveX control's :visible instance variable.
For normal Xbase Parts, an application normally uses :visible to specify whether the object should displayed automatically when the method :create() is called. :setVisible() implements compatible behaviour for ActiveX controls by assigning a logical value passed in parameter <xVisible> to the control's :visible instance variable.
If the ActiveX control defines a property of the same name, :setVisible() also calls :setProperty() to assign the value passed to the property defined by the ActiveX control.
Since :setVisible() is called automatically by the class framework, applications need not call this method directly.
