Function: Show/Hide All Objects of a Specific Type

[Brett]

This function will show or hide all objects of a certain type on a page with just one call.

-- Name: ShowHideObjectsOfType
-- Purpose: To show or hide all objects of a certain type on a page
-- Arguments:
--		Type - (number) The type of object to work on.  For a list of
--						type constants, see the help file for Page.GetObjectType
--		Show - (boolean) Whether to show (true) or hide (false) the object
-- Returns: Nothing
function ShowHideObjectsOfType(Type, Show)
	local tblObjects = Page.EnumerateObjects();
	if tblObjects then
		for i,ObName in tblObjects do
			nTypeCurrent = Page.GetObjectType(ObName);
			if(nTypeCurrent == Type)then
				-- Matches the type we are looking for...
				if(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_BUTTON)then
					Button.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_LABEL)then
					Label.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_PARAGRAPH)then
					Paragraph.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_IMAGE)then
					Image.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_FLASH)then
					Flash.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_VIDEO)then
					Video.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_WEB)then
					Web.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_INPUT)then
					Input.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_HOTSPOT)then
					-- Not applicable - do nothing
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_LISTBOX)then
					ListBox.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				elseif(nTypeCurrent == OBJECT_PLUGIN)then
					Plugin.SetVisible(ObName,Show);
				end
			end
		end
	else
		-- Error
		Dialog.Message("Error", "Failed to enumerate objects: ".._tblErrorMessages[Application.GetLastError()]);
	end
end

This code could easily be adjusted to apply any kind of action to objects on a page without knowing anything specific about the page you are working on. For example, to enable or disable objects or to change an object type's text.

Attached is a sample project that shows the code in use. The function is located in the Global Functions script.
