Returns or sets the visibility of the application.
It may be helpful to display a message to the user that the application is invisible to enable rapid Automation drawing during this process.
Application.Visible = True | False
None
True | False. True - Xpedition Designer is visible. False - Xpedition Designer is invisible.
Xpedition Designer is normally visible (that is, the Visible property is “true”). However, when first started by an automation script, the Visible property is “false”. Changing this property to “True” is a standard initialization step.
You may want to make Xpedition Designer invisible when doing large amounts of drawing, as this can speed performance. Xpedition Designer does not actually draw the data until turned visible and therefore the drawing operations run much faster (by a factor of up to 10).
