Visual Basic (Usage)

property bool Visible {
   bool get();
   void set (bool value);

Example

Remarks

If the SolidWorks application is started by your program, then the SolidWorks application closes when your program ends. It makes no difference whether you make the SolidWorks session visible.

However, if your program started the SolidWorks application and you assign control of the SolidWorks application to the end-user using ISldWorks::UserControl, then it remains running even when your program ends.

Also, the SolidWorks application can only be hidden if ISldWorks::UserControl is false and there are no visible documents open.
