Re : How to make items Invisible

[Veeru]

I have an example to program to make items visible and invisble .

pls suggest is the method ok or is there any other simpler way to do it.

Thanks

Hi Veeru,

in general your example is ok...

I would encourage you to put exactly same structures outside of loops or case structures, in your case the property nodes. The only difference in the two cases of your example is the math operation, so only this would end up inside the case. Also put some timing functions in (while) loops, even when only made for demonstration purposes!

Here is a slightly optimized version.

• By putting the property nodes outside the case, you avoid to duplicate them.
• Don't forget to put a delay into the loop to avoid a 100% CPU usage.

The most efficient way would be to use an event structure.

Some minutes to modify the code and I have to notice that GerdW was faster than I. Let's appreciate the similarity of both answers !

Good Morning all

Another question in the same topic, I have the above program inside an Event structure, the last cluster remains open when i begin the program next time(i mean,if i had made a cluster visible at the 1st run and when i start the program next time the cluster still remains open) i tried to make all the clusters invisible when i start the program each time but i couldn't.

Thanks

Hi Veeru,

one solution could be to hide the control at development time. Where are your problems to hide all elements at startup?

I will try and see how it goes
