Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean value that specifies whether the current child bar is hidden from the child form during a merge operation.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

The default visibility of all child bars during merging is specified by the child BarManager’s BarManager.HideBarsWhenMerging property. Individual child bars can override this setting via the HideWhenMerging property. If the HideWhenMerging property is set to Default, a bar’s visibility during merging is specified by the BarManager.HideBarsWhenMerging property.
