Re: Determining a view's latent visibility

But what about 10.3? AFAIK there's no way to do it there.

Was there ever an answer to this? I'm in the middle of updating some code that used to rely on the old-style meaning of IsControlVisible and need to work with at least 10.3 (and maybe 10.2). 

My imperfect workaround is as follows:

* I wrote a wrapper around HIViewSetVisible that also, on pre-Tiger systems, sets a control property to record how the visibility was set.

* I wrote a IsLatentlyVisible function that, on pre-Tiger systems, looks for that control property. If the property is not set, it falls back to IsControlVisible.

Obviously, you have to be careful not to change visibility without using the wrapper.
