Wish B4XTable1 - Visible property

[LucaMs]

I'm too lazy to write this whole long line:

B4XTable1.mBase.Visible = True

I'd rather

B4XTable1.Visible = True

?

Don't be lazy.

So I'm spending some energy writing this post ? :

It is "right" that a View had the Visible property.

While it is possible to modify the class but it is much easier to put it inside a Pane/Panel and set the Pane's visibility.

 

[peacemaker]

Public Sub getVisible As Boolean
    Return mBase.Visible
End Sub

Public Sub setVisible (NewVisibility As Boolean)
    mBase.Visible = NewVisibility
End Sub

Let's add everywhere

This is easy (and currently the way to do it):

B4XTable1.mBase.Visible = True

but Visible is a property that every view should have and Erel will take 5 seconds to add it.

In case Erel is busy with other important things, here is my mod.

I wrote this "Wish" for his sake, because I know that he never has anything to do and is bored ?

I am not sure if it is a bug.
It doesn't matter if I set the Visible (Common Properties) value to True or False, it will be Visible when the app starts. I only tested in B4J.

We need to set the Visible to False by code in B4XPage_Created.
[CODE lang="b4x" highlight="5"]Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
Root = Root1
Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
B4XTable1.AddColumn("Sample", B4XTable1.COLUMN_TYPE_TEXT)
B4XTable1.Visible = False ' setting in Designer has no effect
'Pane1.Visible = False
End Sub[/CODE]

It's not a bug. Not all properties common to all views affect custom views.

The expected behavior is when we uncheck the value in Designer, it should not shown in the UI.
If we use the original library provided by Erel, the view is still showing even though we have set mBase.Visible = False in B4XPage_Created.

You should use:

mBase.Visible = Lbl.Visible
