How to show or hide a control in front panel

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi All, I am revising the code from someone else, and a control in front panel seems to be hidden until you click something to make it show. I tried to use right click in front panel and it did not work by clicking something related to show or hide. Since I don't quite familiar with property nodes, this hidden setting may be related to that.

In the picture it shows the front panel and its two property nodes, could anyone advise me how to change the setting to show this control? Thank you!

Hey.

 

Is this what you are looking for...

The Visible property allows you to set the above option programatically.  If you would like to see it, you need to wire a true constant in to it.

 

Kind Regards

If you right-click on the the control's terminal, you will see an option to "Hide Control" or "Show Control".  This is what you should use when editing the code.  The property nodes set to Visible are for when the application is running.
