DataColumn.Visible property (Visio)

Specifies whether the data column appears on the tab for its parent data recordset in the External Data window in the Microsoft Visio user interface. Read/write.

Note

This Visio object or member is available only to licensed users of Visio Professional 2013.

Syntax

expression.Visible

expression A variable that represents a DataColumn object.

Return value

Boolean

Remarks

If when a shape is linked to data, Visible is set to True, and if Visio adds a row to the Shape Data section of the ShapeSheet spreadsheet of the linked shape for the data column, subsequently setting the Visible property to False causes Visio to remove the ShapeSheet row it added.

If the row in the Shape Data section existed prior to linking, setting the Visible property to False does not result in Visio removing the ShapeSheet row; however, the shape data item the row represents no longer is subject to change when data in the data recordset is refreshed.

When the Visible property is set to False, Visio does not create a ShapeSheet row for the data column when it links shapes to data.
