FILEMAKER PRO HELP 850

isobjecthidden - returns 1 (True) if objectName is hidden for the current record. Otherwise,

returns 0 (False). Returns 1 for objects other than popovers that are to the right of the layout

boundary.

Notes

• If objects are set to auto-resize, attributes returned are based on the resized bounds of the

object in its current state.

• If objects are located above the status toolbar, negative coordinate values are returned.

• When repetitionNumber or portalRowNumber is 0, the function behaves as if the

parameter was not specified. For

portalRowNumber, the function returns data from the

first portal row. For

repetitionNumber, the function acts on the first repetition (for

returning

content or source) or acts on the entire field as a whole (for returning bounds).

Both parameters are necessary because you must be able to reference a particular field

repetition within a particular portal row.

Examples

GetLayoutObjectAttribute("CancelButton";"objectType") returns button (if the

button was created in a new file or a file after it was converted), returns button group (if the button

is associated with a button action or script and was converted in a file from a previous version of

FileMaker

Pro), or returns text (if the button isn’t associated with a button action or script and was

converted in a file from a previous version of FileMaker

Pro).

GetLayoutObjectAttribute("CancelButton";"bounds") returns 138 24 391 38 0.
