<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am attempting to create a toolbox script using python and
I&#8217;d like to have some of the parameters hidden until they are needed. I
thought it would be something like<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;self.params[x].display = show <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
or<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>self.params[x].show = true<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>&#8230; but it doesn&#8217;t seem as if there are any methods
like this that will work. I&#8217;ve researched it to no avail and I&#8217;m
wondering if it&#8217;s even possible. There is not a stated method for
display, show, or hide; just enable/disable (which is not what I&#8217;m
looking for), but I was hoping someone had come up with a way to do this. Has
anyone had any experience with showing/hiding parameters? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
