The visiblestate value passed to Set_Property() can be any of the valid show-window states, (those states accepted by the Windows API function ShowWindow). For example, the Windows SDK file "windows.h" defines SW_RESTORE as 9; this value restores a minimized window to its previous size, equivalent to the "Restore" choice on the Window's system menu.
Note: To hide a menu item, set its visible property to 0. A top level menu (on the menu bar) cannot be hidden this way. To hide it, set its TEXT property to null.
