ControlInvisible (Function)
In french: ChampInvisible
Makes a control (or a group of controls) invisible in a window. An animation can be set on the controls during this operation.
Linux No animation can be played when the controls are made invisible.
Example
WINDEVReports and QueriesUser code (UMC)
// Rend invisible le groupe de champs GR_Nom
ControlInvisible(GR_Nom, animFadeIn, 200)
Syntax
ControlInvisible(<Element used> [, <Type of animation> [, <Animation duration>]])
<Element used>: Name of the control or name of a group of controls
Name of the control or group of controls that must be made invisible.
<Type of animation>: Optional Integer constant
Type of animation to play:
animCoverDownThe new element appears from the top and covers the initial element.
animCoverFromCenterThe new element appears from the center and covers the initial element.
animCoverFromCornersThe new element appears from the corners and covers the initial element.
animCoverLeftThe new element appears from the right and covers the initial element.
animCoverRightThe new element appears from the left and covers the initial element.
animCoverUpThe new element appears from the bottom and covers the initial element.
animFadeInFade-in animation.
animFlipDownwardDiagonalFlip around the diagonal that goes from the top left to the bottom right.
animFlipUpwardDiagonalFlip around the diagonal that goes from the top right to the bottom left.
animShrinkAndCoverFromCornersThe initial element shrinks and the new element appears from the corners.
animSlideDownScrolling vers le bas.
animSlideLeftSlide left.
animSlideRightSlide right.
animSlideUpSlide up.
Linux This parameter is ignored. No animation can be played when the control is made invisible.
<Animation duration>: Optional integer
Duration of animation in hundredths of a second. This parameter can correspond to:
  • an integer corresponding to the number of hundredths of a second,
  • a Duration variable,
  • the duration in a readable format (e.g., '1cs' or '10 ms').
We recommend that you use a short duration (up to 1 second).
The application is locked as long as the animation is not over. If the user clicks or preses a key, the animation is stopped and the controls are displayed in their final status.
Linux This parameter is ignored. No animation can be played when the control is made invisible.
Remarks
WINDEVReports and QueriesWindowsUser code (UMC)

Animating a group of controls

If <Control name> corresponds to a group of controls, the animation is played in the rectangle defined by the control at the top left and the one at the bottom right.
The controls that do not belong to the group of controls but found in this area will also be animated.

Special cases

  • ControlInvisible has no effect if the control or the group of controls is not visible.
  • The Visible property can also be used to make controls invisible. This property cannot be used to play an animation during this operation. In Linux, the Visible property and the ControlInvisible function are equivalent.
