Catia VBA - how to determine if an object is hidden

[woehrk]

What I would like to do: determine if an object is "hidden" or not.

I cannot seem to find the correct property for an object that specifies whether or not it is "hidden". As you can see below, there is a property available under .Application.Visible but that value is always true...

Is there a "visibility" property for objects that can be used? For example if I search in catia, specifying the attribute of visibility = hidden, this performs exactly as I desire.

code:

Dim part As part
Set part = partDocument.part
Dim myBodiesList As hybridBodies
Set myBodiesList = part.hybridBodies

For Each myBody In myBodiesList
If myBody.hybridBodies.Count = 0 Then
Set myShapesList = myBody.HybridShapes
GetShapes myShapesList
ElseIf myBody.Application.Visible Then
GetMyHybridBodies_PutInList myBody
End If
Next myBody

Hi

Recorded CATScript, selecting all hidden objects.

Language="VBSCRIPT"

Sub CATMain()

Dim partDocument1 As Document
Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Dim selection1 As Selection
Set selection1 = partDocument1.Selection

selection1.Search "Visibility=Invisible,all"

End Sub

you can use Selection.VisProperties.GetShow to get the status of show/noshow

Dim showstate As CatVisPropertyShow
Set visProperties1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Selection.VisProperties

 visProperties1.GetShow showstate
 
Select Case showstate
 
Case catVisPropertyNoShowAttr
MsgBox "Hidden View"
Case catVisPropertyShowAttr
MsgBox "visible View"

End Select
