Is there a way to hide/unhide parameters. I know there is a flag for HIDDEN but it seems it cannot be changed. Any ideas?

I have searched both topic and message body under 'parameter visibility', 'HIDDEN'. I do not know what else to seed the search with, suggestions?

Hi,
I had the same problem some time ago, that´s why I know it´s in the forum! U should have used HIDE instead of HIDDEN but here is the answer Mikael Sterner gave me.

Here's a dummy GetDDescription() I added to my MSA object. It HIDEs the POSITIONING_FROM_POS element:

   
   
   Bool MSAObject::GetDDescription(GeListNode *node, Description *description,LONG &flags)  
   {  
    if (!description || !node) return FALSE;  
    if (!description->LoadDescription(node->GetType())) return FALSE;
   
   
   
   
    AutoAlloc<AtomArray> ar; if (!ar) return FALSE;  
    ar->Append(static_cast<Atom*>(node));
   
   
   
   
    BaseContainer* bc = description->GetParameterI(DescLevel(POSITIONING_FROM_SP), ar);  
    if (bc)  
    {  
     bc->SetBool(DESC_HIDE, TRUE);  
    }
   
   
   
   
    flags |= DESCFLAGS_DESC_LOADED;
   
   
   
   
    return ObjectData::GetDDescription(node, description, flags);  
   }

 

Have a look into the description chapter of the docs. You will find all parameters there

you can use for GetDDescription.
