Modules already have a hide/show property for the parent panel.
Would it be possible to have this put in a user module?

This would save a lot of time, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel

You mean closing a module?

Because if you mean property for custom modules you can!

I think he means like a tabbed interface showing or hiding different sections.
If I'm right try searching here or the SM forum for tabbed interface.
There's also a neat way of switching between layers using a selector and the order of the connections coming from it.

if you have nested modules and you want to see all properties in the parent module you need to hide (or unable) all properties in the submodules (its the little p when you select a module) und just enable it in the parent module..

KG that's it, only you have re-invented a property that already exists.

The tab at the base of a gui module has an eye you can choose whether the module is visible or not in the parent interface. There is no Component that gives control to this feature (which already exists) that i can find.

KG has shown how to redraw either gui by toggle, where as you could have multiple modules hidden by default, with multiple possibilities with the least amount of time spent trying to design.

Does this make sense ?

From what I can tell the little eye controls whether the gui primitive transmits view to parent module. Even if you don't have gui primitive in your module, when you click "enable front panel" it basically creates one in background.
You don't have a way to control the "little eye" button from your schematic, but the schematic provided by me is perfectly equivalent. To toggle the gui on/off simply use single gui per multiplexer and leave one link empty

I'm currently using it, it is quite a powerful item.
Yes it is, to a point.
