Description

VtHideDialog- hide but do not destroy dialog box

VtUnManage- Synonym of VtHide

Hides but does not destroy an object. This is used to hide the object for later retrieval. Useful if you need to hide a dialog that contains information which should not be destroyed. Use VtShow to redisplay the object.

VtHideDialog works similarly to VtHide, but is able to walk up the object tree until it finds a dialog to hide.

Options

-dialog: Hides the entire dialog in which the widget resides.

Notes

VtHideDialog and VtUnManage are provided for backward compatibility. Use VtHide -dialog to accomplish the same task.

Errors
