Invisible control within a custom control

[Rich ME]

I have a custom control made up of a cluster that (somehow) contains invisible controls within it.  These are enums that were not typedef'ed and I now need to change them.  Can I access the properties of an invisible control inside a custom control so I can view them adn change them?

Thanks

Create a property node for your cluster and get property "controls[]".

Now iterate over the array of control references and set them to visible via another property node. (see image for a simple code draft)

That doesn't fix my original Custom Control, only that particular instance of it.  I'll do that and then copy that instance back into my original control and save it.

Thanks

Ah yes, forgot about that one. 😉

For us old-timers, this is a "relatively" new feature and it's absence cause quite a bit of grief in the old days.
