IWebBrowser2::Visible Property

  • Article

Sets or gets a value that indicates whether the object is visible or hidden.

Syntax

HRESULT IWebBrowser2::get_Visible(VARIANT_BOOL *pBool);
HRESULT IWebBrowser2::put_Visible(VARIANT_BOOL Value);

Parameters

  • pBool
    Pointer to a variable of type VARIANT_BOOL that receives the visible state of the object.
  • Value
    VARIANT_BOOL that specifies the visible state of the object.

Possible Values

FALSE Default. Object is hidden.
TRUE Object is visible.

Return Value

Remarks

When the Windows Internet Explorer application is first created, it is hidden. It becomes visible after the IWebBrowser2::Navigate method or the IWebBrowser2::GoSearch method is used.

This method only applies when you are automating Internet Explorer. You co-create an instance of Internet Explorer, and then call put_Visible ( TRUE) to show the instance.

The WebBrowser object saves the value of this property, but otherwise ignores it.
