The VisibleOutsideWindow property is used to:
  • determine if a button is visible even if its position (X,Y) is outside the border of the window (entirely or partially).
  • modify the visibility of an "off-window" Button control.
Caution: To use the VisibleOutsideWindow property, the current window must have a clipped border. Otherwise, the property has no effect.
Example
// Place the OK Button control below the window
BTN_OK.Y = MyWindow.Height + 10
// Make the Button control visible
BTN_OK.VisibleOutsideWindow = True
