Determine whether a control is visible or not

[OnlyMe]

Hello guys,

I have some controls on my Gui and now I would like to determine
their visibility. According to the help this should work like this:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ControlGet.htm#Visible

Code: Select all

F11::
ControlGet, outputVar,visible,,Button1
MsgBox % outputvar
return

Unfortunately it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?

You didn't specify the WinTitle parameter
Use GuiControlGet instead if you are using an AHK GUI.

OK, thanks.

Yet I'm getting 1 despite my Button1 is hidden on my Gui.

Code: Select all

Gui Add, Button, x10 y10, w50 h30 hide vButton1, Test1

Code: Select all

GuiControlGet, OutputVar,Visible, Button1 ; this can't be right
MsgBox % outputvar

The option to initially hide a control is spelled Hidden. If you use Hide instead after the h (height) option, it will be interpreted as h not followed by a valid number and therefore h0. According to GuiControlGet a control with a height of 0 is 'visible'.
