For automation interface information about the Hidden property, see the automation interface topic for a Script in the Related Topics.
This property specifies that the Script is hidden from the Modeler user interface and is not used.
When a Script is hidden, it behaves as follows for the different Script Types:
• For MenuCommand scripts, no context menus are created for the Script.
• For OnDelete scripts, the Script is not run when valid items are deleted.
• For OnDoubleClick scripts, the Script is not run when valid items are double-clicked.
• For OnDrop scripts, the Script is not run when valid items are dropped.
• For OnModelClose scripts, the Script is not run when the model is closed.
• For OnModelOpen scripts, the Script is not run when the model is opened.
• For ToolbarCommand scripts, no toolbar buttons are created for the Script.
• For Utility scripts, the Hidden property has no affect and the Script can still be run.
By default, the Hidden check box is cleared.
This property is set on the Order tab of a Script's Property Pages.
Tip: You can use the Hidden property to hide a Script that is inherited by a Stereotype and is not required, but do so only after creating a redefinition of the Script (see
Hiding Inherited Tag Definitions and Scripts).
To write scripts you require a good working knowledge of the VBScript language, the Modeler Meta Model and the Modeler Automation Interface. If you run a script that has errors, those errors can corrupt Modeler model data and make Modeler crash.
