Widget Class: _swapOut

Swaps out the object so it is hidden

Syntax
Details

Syntax

objectName._swapOut( );

Details

Since textual objects (for example, push button, icons, text entry objects) cannot overlap, you can use _swapOut to temporarily remove an object so that another textual object can occupy that space. If you use the _hide method instead, the object would only be hidden. It would still occupy the location on the screen, so another textual object could not be placed in that location.

If you attempt to swap in a textual object in the same location as another textual object, the method fails.

See _isSwapped and _hide for more information.
