)
Visual Basic (Usage)

C# 
void SetUIState( 
   int StateType,
   bool Flag
)
C++/CLI

&   int StateType,
&   bool Flag
)

Parameters

StateType

User interface state type as defined in swUIStates_e

Flag

True to set the user-interface state, false to not

Example

Remarks

If you pass in StateType of swIsHiddenInFeatureMgr and flag of True, then this method hides the display of the feature in the FeatureManager design tree. To see your changes in the FeatureManager design tree , use IModelDoc2::EditRebuild3.

Features are initialized with all user-interface state type values set to false. However, in the case of attributes, you can use IAttributeDef::CreateInstance5 to set the desired display state of the attribute at the time of creation.

A change in a the state setting of a feature causes all its dependents to inherit the same behavior, without actually setting the state type values of those dependents. Therefore, to get the actual user-interface state value of a feature, you can query its owner.

The user-interface state is not a property.
