Hello,

I am currently migrating our main application (written with Eclipse 3.7) to Eclipse 4 and of course, I have many questions.

In part, I see checkbox Visible and To Be Rendered.
I use Visible to hide part when my application starts but I would like to know the difference.

Thanks

Hi,

see here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse4/RCP/Modeled_UI/Rendering_the_Model#What_is_the_difference_between_.23visible_and_.23toBeRendered.3F

Basically the creation of the part is the difference.
visible = false -> part exists but is not shown
toBeRendered = false -> part doesn't exist for the renderer

Best Regards

Michael
