Remarks

This property can influence the visibility of the dynamic element. Usually this property returns False, i.e. the element is displayed.
If the property is set to True, the element is hidden. And the element stays invisible, until this property is set back to False.

Reopening the picture resets the element.

Sample

The following example influences the visibility of the dynamic element BITMAP_BTN_1, which exists in the current picture.

'*** Change visibility of BITMAP_BTN_1
Public Sub LeftClickUp_Element_Hide(obElem As Element)
	Dim obElement As Element
	Dim obPicture As DynPicture

	'*** Get picture-Object
	Set obPicture = obElem.Parent.Parent
	If (obPicture Is Nothing) Then
		MsgBox "Error: Picture-object is invalid..."
		Exit Sub
	End If

	'*** Get element BITMAP_BTN_1
	Set obElement = obPicture.Elements.Item("BITMAP_BTN_1")
	If (obElement Is Nothing) Then
		MsgBox "Error: element BITMAP_BTN_1 doesn't exists..."
		Exit Sub
	End If

	'*** De/-activate element
	obElement.Hide = Not obElement.Hide
	obElement.Update
End Sub
