checking whether a buffer is hidden
What is the correct way to check whether a buffer is hidden? I am currently doing the following bool const hidden = !(guiApp-currentView() guiApp-currentView()-workArea(*b)); which works fine but I'm not sure if it's the right way. Thanks, Scott

The buffer itself has no reason to know that it is hidden. In what part of code do you need to know this information? I am not sure that the notion of hidden buffer is correctly defined (when are they visible?) JMarc

I am not sure that the notion of hidden buffer is correctly defined (when are they visible?) ok. Sounds like it's best to leave things how they are. Thanks, Scott

What is the correct way to check whether a buffer is hidden? I am currently doing the following bool const hidden = !(guiApp->currentView() && guiApp->currentView()->workArea(*b)); which works fine but I'm not sure if it's the right way. Thanks, Scott
