Window2.Visible Property
Gets or sets the visibility of a window.
Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Property Visible As Boolean
bool Visible { get; set; }
property bool Visible {
bool get ();
void set (bool value);
}
abstract Visible : bool with get, set
function get Visible () : boolean
function set Visible (value : boolean)
Property Value
Type: Boolean
true if the window is visible; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The Find/Replace utility does not search windows that are not visible in open documents, even if the document associated with the window is still open.
Examples
This example creates a linked window frame, adds the Output Window and Solution Explorer to the linked frame as docked windows, displays some properties, uses the Visible property to set the visibility status of the window frame, and then undocks the windows from the frame.
For more information about how to run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.
