Hi Joe. Thanks for your answer. The reason is that I'm working on some general-purpose functions that need to determine the visibility status at runtime, ideally without the need of the programmer that using the functions to supply the visibility status. Of course I could have a Boolean or similar that is set by the programmer when a control is visible and cleared when it's not, but it would be a little less clean interface to the support routines.
