Pageflex Document Action API Visible Property

Gets or sets whether this element should be visible or hidden.

Syntax

Visual Basic

Managed C++

public bool Visible { get; set; }

Public Property Visible As Boolean

public:
bool Visible {
	bool get ();
	void set (bool value);
}

Remarks

Specifies trueTruetrue if this element should be visible in the document, and falseFalsefalse if it should be hidden.

For purposes of document layout (such as text composition or runaround), a hidden element is completely absent.

Document navigation methods such as NextSiblingElement traverse all elements, visible or not.

Note that an element will be visible only if it and all ancestor elements have Visible set to trueTruetrue. Setting Visible to falseFalsefalse hides this element and all descendent elements. For example, if Visible is falseFalsefalse on a TextFrame, the frame and all contained text will be hidden regardless of the value of Visible on the contained text elements. Use IsVisible to determine whether a given element is actually visible.
