OBJECT.ISVISIBLE Function

Syntax

.IsVisible()

Description

Indiciates if the window is visible.

Discussion

The <OBJECT>.ISVISIBLE() method applies to:

Control Panel (for <OBJECT> use the keyword "CONTROLPANEL")
Status Bar (for <OBJECT> use the keyword "STATUSBAR")
Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)

The <OBJECT>.ISVISIBLE() method returns .T. (TRUE) if a window is visible; otherwise, it returns .F. (FALSE).

The following example shows how to determine if a window is visible.

dim ptr as P
ptr = form.load("Customer Information")
ptr.show()
? ptr.IsVisible()
= .T.
ptr.hide()
? ptr.IsVisible()
=  .F.
