# Console properties

Description of console object properties.

## Description

This object is returned when calling `get(0)` and allows to modify some parameters for handles and uicontrols.

Console properties
  ShowHiddenHandles:

    A boolean or a string

    Manages the display of all children handles in figures including default menus ones.

    Default value is `"off"`.

  UseDeprecatedSkin:

    A boolean or a string

    Manages the rendering of uicontrols.

    Default value is `"off"` and uicontrols look and feel is managed by operating system.

    Setting this value to `"on"` or `%T` will make the uicontrols have an old TK look and feel.

  ShowHiddenProperties:

    A boolean or a string

    Manages the display of uicontrols properties.

    Default value is `"off"` and only the uicontrols properties used on the Java side are displayed.

    Setting this value to `"on"` or `%T` will make all available properties displayed (for example a `ListboxTop` property will be dispalyed for `pushbutton` uicontrols.

## Examples

    f=gcf() // Do no display hidden handles
    c = get(0);
    set(c, "ShowHiddenHandles", "on");
    f=gcf() // Show menu handles as children

    h=uicontrol(); // Button with OS look & feel
    set(c, "UseDeprecatedSkin", "on");
    h=uicontrol(); // Button with old TK look & feel

    h=uicontrol() // Minimal display of properties
    set(c, "ShowHiddenProperties", "on");
    h=uicontrol() // Full display of properties
