Visible property (Display object)

Returns or sets a value that determines whether or not the display is visible. Read/write. Boolean.
The value of this property is not persisted.
When Visible = False, the display is hidden. This places the display in the display cache. When the display is hidden, issuing the
Display
command or using the
ShowDisplay
method will make the display visible.
