Check if Window is hidden

[spacebuddy]

I know by using HideWIndow I can hide a window, but what call do I use to
find if the Window is hidden?

Thanks

Does this help ?

Code: Select all

IsVisible = CocoaMessage(0, WindowID(0), "isVisible")

This should return if Window 0 is visible or not.

Works Perfect

And for the gadget do not tell?

[Shardik]

Code: Select all

IsVisible = CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "isHidden")

[mk-soft]

Code: Select all

IsVisible = Bool(CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "isHidden") = 0)

[Shardik]

Sorry, should have been

Code: Select all

IsHidden = CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(0), "isHidden")

A complete example:

Code: Select all

Define HiddenState.I

OpenWindow(0, 270, 100, 220, 95, "ButtonGadget demo")
ButtonGadget(0, 10, 20, 200, 25, "Hide button below")
ButtonGadget(1, 10, 55, 200, 25, "Visible button")

Repeat
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      Break
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      If EventGadget() = 0 And EventType() = #PB_EventType_LeftClick
        HiddenState ! 1
        HideGadget(1, HiddenState)
        
        If HiddenState 
          SetGadgetText(0, "Unhide button below")
        Else
          SetGadgetText(0, "Hide button below")
        EndIf

        Debug "Hidden state of 2nd button: " +
            CocoaMessage(0, GadgetID(1), "isHidden")
      EndIf
  EndSelect

I didn't mean that bad. Thank you very much for the example.

I didn't mean that bad.

I didn't assess your response as negative or bad. It was totally correct in modifing my incorrect example. Before posting I changed IsHidden to IsVisible and didn't take into account that true and false are switched. So I appreciated your correction...
