Perspective set Component Visible=false to show again?

Ignition

Version 8.1.24

In Perspective, I set component’s META visible =FALSE.

When I need to show the component again, I have to browse the Page Tree , find one by one …

After finding ,then set its META visible =True again.

Is there an easy way to find the hide component?

One way:

  • Create a custom property on the view, say valveVisibility : true.
  • On each TValve create a property binding on META.visible and bind to the custom property created above.

You can then toggle the visibility of all the bound items by toggling the custom property either manually or by another binding or script. If there is some other condition that should make the valve visible then us an expression binding and OR the custom property and the other condition to determine the visibility.

For faster development you could add a checkbox or toggle with a bidirectional binding to the custom property and toggle it from the designer. Delete it or set visible : false when finished.
