# Description

Use the hide command to hide objects temporarily or permanently.

Hiding an object sets its visible property to false. The object itself is still in the stack and can be restored with the show command. You can also set the showInvisibles property to true to override the visible property and show all objects.

Hiding a stack hides its window, but does not close the stack.

You can hide a card without causing a script error, but doing so has no effect.

Hiding a group hides all the controls in the group.
