SETGAD GuiFile GadID/range ON|OFF|SHOW|HIDE
This command will set the specified gadget ON or OFF or make it
appear (SHOW) or disappear (HIDE)
GuiFile - The name of the GUI file the gadgets reside in.
GadID - The ID number you have given to
the gadget, *or* a range of gadgets denoted as
First/LastGadget
Example :
SetGad MyGui.gc 10 OFF - will set Gad No.10 off
SetGad MyGui.gc 5/15 HIDE - will hide gadgets Nos. 5 to 15 inclusive
The SHOW and HIDE keywords will have no immediate visible effect
unless and until the ReDraw command is used.
------->>>> A note about ListViews:
LVs get updated if OFF, but not updated if HIDEn (even if visible)
It is *much* faster to HIDE an lv and act on it (with commands
like lvadd, lvput etc) and then SHOW it again, than to have the LV
updated continuously while actions are going on. When you show it
again, you must "nudge" it into redrawing itself - with LVMULTI SHOW
or LVMOVE 0
