Gtk.Widget.prototype.set_visible

function set_visible(visible:Boolean):void {
    // Gjs wrapper for gtk_widget_set_visible()
}

Sets the visibility state of widget. Note that setting this to true doesn't mean the widget is actually viewable, see Gtk.Widget.prototype.get_visible.

This function simply calls Gtk.show or Gtk.Widget.prototype.hide but is nicer to use when the visibility of the widget depends on some condition.

Since 2.18

visible

whether the widget should be shown or not
