visible property is property window

Postby IT2Be » Sat Nov 08, 2003 11:41 pm

Hai,

I would like to have the visible property in the property window (and maybe also enabled?).

The reason for this is that I sometimes want to place invisible controls on a form or want to start with an invisible or disabled control.

Would that be possible?

Enabled and visible we consider as runtime properties instead of design time properties and can be handeled in form onShow method for example...
So unless more developers are asking for this we want to leave it this way

Well, I sure hope more developers ask for this since it is much easier to check/uncheck such a property than 'building' a onOpenMethod for such a thing...

Thanks for your answer anyway!

I'll have to voice my favor for this too. Only because developers coming from either RealBasic or VB might expect it. I know in Interface Builder that you only have Enabled but a more "user friendly" approach would be "Do you want this object initially visible or not?"

See attachment of the properties palette for RealBasic.

I agree as well. Visible property would be very handy to have in property window. Would save coding time and extra methods to code.

Thanks for your clarification Matt. REALbasic is indeed the background of my question!

Yep, it would be handy, to set fields by default: enabled or unvisible, without using methods.
