Show an element

Function: Show an element​

This function allows you to make a specific user interface (UI) element visible on your application screen. When an element is "shown," it means it will appear for your users to see and interact with, if applicable. This is useful for dynamically displaying content, messages, or sections based on user actions or application logic.

Input​

  • UI element
    • Description: This is the specific part of your application's user interface that you want to make visible. It could be a text box, a button, an image, a panel, or any other visual component.
    • Type: UI element (PART)
    • Required: Yes

Output​

None. This function directly modifies the visibility of the specified UI element on the screen.
