close . . .

!!   if these are the parameters you want to hide...

myParameter1 = 1
myParameter2 = 2
myParameter3 = 3

!!   ...this is the code

if marker = "Section" then
     hideparameter   myParameter1, myParameter2, myParameter3
endif

!!   you don't need a "showparameter" control because
!!   it will always be visible unless you hide it.
!!   i.e. if 'marker' is NOT "Section" it will be visible.



!!   you may also want to lock them at the same time...

if marker = "Section" then
     hideparameter   myParameter1, myParameter2, myParameter3
     lock   myParameter1, myParameter2, myParameter3
endif

!!   ...or you can simply lock them without the hiding so that
!!   the user knows that they exist. may be an option?

be sure to put this kind of code in the parameter script. you may also want to check out page 185 of the GDL reference guide ( Help>AC11 GDL Reference Guide ).

Hello,

The parameter names should be in quotes if you hide or lock;

if mySetting= "Hide them" then
hideparameter "myParam1", "myParam2"
endif

if mySetting= "Lock them" then
lock "myParam1", "myParam2"
endif

if mySetting= "Change them" then
parameters myParam1="No quotes here", myParam2="Or here"
endif
