Hi,  
I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am interested in knowing how to hide, for example, a line using a button on the form. I would like to toggle the visible property on and off.

Thanks

Francisco

You can create [custom properties](https://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/dynamic_properties.htm) on almost all components in Ignition. You can then [bind](https://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/bidirectional_bindings.htm) to that property. Maybe using a [Toggle Button](https://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/buttons_pmitogglebutton.htm) (see attached).
