Is element visible

Function: Is element visible​

This action checks the current visibility status of a user interface (UI) element. It determines if the element is currently hidden from view, either because it's explicitly marked as hidden or set not to display.

Input​

  • Element: The specific UI element on your application's screen that you want to check for visibility. This input is required.

Output​

  • Result: A BOOLEAN value. This will be True if the element is currently hidden from the user's view (i.e., not visible). It will be False if the element is visible on the screen.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some examples of how you can use the "Is element visible" action:

  1. Conditional Display of a Message:

    • Inputs:
      • Element: SuccessMessagePanel (a UI panel that shows a success message)
    • Result: The Result variable will be True if the SuccessMessagePanel is currently hidden, or False if it is visible. You could then use this Result in a subsequent "If" action to decide whether to show a different message or perform another action.

  2. Form Field Validation:

    • Inputs:
      • Element: OptionalAddressField (a text input field for an optional address)
    • Result: The Result variable will be True if the OptionalAddressField is currently hidden (meaning the user doesn't need to fill it), or False if it's visible. This could be used to skip validation for this field if it's not visible.

  3. Dynamic Button State:

    • Inputs:
      • Element: SubmitButton (a button that submits a form)
    • Result: The Result variable will be True if the SubmitButton is currently hidden, or False if it's visible. You might use this to ensure a user can only click the button when it's visible, or to log when a hidden button is unexpectedly shown.
