setVisibility

Sets the visibility for a specific control.

Parameters

1. controlId - id of the Gebra Suite control as a string

2. visible - (optional, default = true) bool value if the control should be visible or not

3. subControl (optional) Some controls have sub Controls, that can be set visible or hidden. Important: setVisibility for subcontrols cannot be used in onAppStart, because some controls are not fully created at that time, use onAppInitialized instead. Here is a list of possible subControls:

   • grids - The grid toolbar has to be active to see buttons at all!

     • buttons - shows or hides the buttons of a grid

     • buttonNew - shows or hides the new buttons of a grid

     • buttonDelete - shows or hides the delete buttons of a grid

     • buttonCopy - shows or hides the copy buttons of a grid

app.setVisibility("myControlId");
app.setVisibility("myControlId", "visible");
app.setVisibility("myControlId", true);

2. To hide a control

app.setVisibility("myFieldId", false);

3. Hide the grid new button
