Bugger!

I made some changes to PIO's that are used in VW12.5. Since I pasted them back into the plug-ins folder they no long show up in workspace editor or VS Editor. They are definatly in the correct folder. The only thing I can think of is I modified them in VW2009... I'm sure i've done before with no problems? Could this be my issue?

orso, I agree, if it was done intentionally it should be explained clearer in the help files with 'SetParameterVisibility'. The fact it isn't pointed out makes it sound like a bug?

ccroft Cheers, I will have a read of that. Looks interesting My PIO works fine at the mo. All params are hidden until the user makes a choice on a popup. That will do for now

Orso, I am not having this issue, I have most params hidden with double underscores and they work fine. One thing I did discover is they seem to need an Alternate Name as well to work, I had some with and some without and only the ones with seemed to work... now they all do

Thanks Andrew, I tried your idea with not success. Is this what you had in mind? resultstatus := GetCustomObjectInf (objName,objHd,recHd,wallHD); If (objHd = Nil) then Begin objHd := GetObject (objName); End; Cheers

Thanks Pat, But Obviously I had already read the help files

I'm creating a plug-in using SetParameterVisibility to change visibility of parameters in the OIP, which works fine. However I am wondering if it is possible for this to work in the properties dialog before the object is placed? I had a search and it looks like this has not been answered yet. My apologies if it has been covered already. At the moment I have everything hidden by default (using __PARAM) except for a popup. Once the object has been placed you select the detail from the popup which then shows the relevant params? This might be the best way. WIN Vista VW2009 SP4 Cheers
