Synopsis

VtHide widgetName [-dialog]
VtHideDialog widgetName
VtUnManage widgetName

Description

Hides but does not destroy an object. This is used to hide the object for later retrieval. Useful if you need to hide a dialog that contains information which should not be destroyed. Use VtShow to redisplay the object.

VtHideDialog works similarly to VtHide, but is able to walk up the object tree until it finds a dialog to hide.

Options

-dialog: Hides the entire dialog in which the widget resides.

Return values

If VtHide fails, it returns one of the following error messages:

NO_WIDGET: no widget corresponding to widgetName given
NOT_OPTION: option is not valid for this widget
OPTION_COUNT: too many or too few options specified

Notices

VtHideDialog and VtUnManage are provided for backward compatibility. Use VtHide -dialog to accomplish the same task.
