Hide Gadget

[Dabz]

Anyway to hide a gadget, something like GUI.HideGadget(btnCancel)?

The base gadget has SetVisible / GetVisible methods: http://www.ifsogui.com/howto/base-gadget

Yep, I saw that matibee matey, but how come the button gadget doesnt have the SetVisible method?

I'm using version 1.0... Is that the right one, as it states that all gadgets share the same properties of the base one, and a fair few arent there.

I also want to hide/show different gadgets at the same time, not globally as in, all or non, if you get me.

You should still be able to call btnCancel.SetVisible(false)  (I can, and I'm sure I'm using V1.0 too).

What do you mean by "aren't there"?  The gadgets are derived from ifsoGUI_Base so each gadget doesn't have to provide extra functionality when the base will suffice.

When I type btnCancel. Blides intellisense brings up 18 properties, and more notably, SetVisible isnt one of them!?!

EDIT: The only Set[blah] method is SetLabel, no more, no less!

Shoot me now... Blides intellisense isnt picking up a handful of properties.. Which is a bit of a knacker my game is a bit of a monster now and I really need it to remember whats what!

Sorry for the false alarm fella's, its Ziggys fault!  

That'll teach me about putting all my faith in a bit of coding tech!

Ah, ok.  I haven't made the leap to Blide yet although the more work I do the closer I get, so let me know when it works

OK, you see that buttons do have SetVisible, right?

As an example, the docs for the button won't include the SetVisible property, if it uses the base gadgets SetVisible.  Now, if SetVisible was different for a button for some reason, then it would be there in the docs.  Basically when I created the docs, I just copied the source code over to the html page and editted out the code.  The comments from the source became the description.  I know it can be better, but it is a lot of work, and spending time making the docs pretty is time I can't spend working on the code.  

One day, the code will be mostly done, and I will get back to the docs.  But, thanks to matibee, that day is way off.    Just kidding matibee, I like your suggestions and look forward to the improvements.  Not too mention, no gadget will ever be the pain in the butt that this dang MCListBox is being.  Though it is very close to be being done now.  Just have to get 2 more child gadgets working.

Most of the time, when I start a new gadget, I get it done in a day or two, but I have spent about 3 weeks on this MCListBox.  It will be worth it, as it is going to be very useful, just as a Multi-Column listbox, where you can click a cell and a gadget (combobox, textbox, etc) appears to allow you to edit the value.  And as a full blown grid type gadget (without being able to put fancy code for the cells though).

Wow, this thread is like chat, you guys are posting every 15 seconds. 

I use BLIde and it is working for me.  Dabz, maybe you need to rebuild all modules in BLIde.  Also, when the intellisense pops up, on the bottom is a common and all selection.  Select All.  If you have common selected, it only lists ones you have used, I think.

lol, I've built all modules and what not, still not picking it up... I think I updated Blide yesterday, maybe its broke something... Anyway, as long as it is actually there, its happy days!
