iLogic/API: Toggle visibility of multiple Parts List rows at once

[DRoam]

Currently, if we want to toggle the visibility of several rows in a Parts List via the API, we have to iterate through them and toggle them one by one. There is a noticeable performance hit for each row. Processing just a few dozen rows takes several seconds.

There should be a way to toggle the visibility of several specified rows at once via the API, as we can via the Parts List editor window. It would be nice to have a method for explicitly setting a collection of rows to Visible or Invisible, as well as a method for toggling a collection of rows (visible becomes invisible, invisible becomes visible).

Hi,

There should also be like ".hideAll()". I have 2000 rows in my partslist and i want to show only 200 of them. Hiding by ".Visible = False" is ultra slow. With hideAll() i could hide them first and then loop through to show those which i want. Faster to set visible = True to 200 parts than hide 1800.

Also it would be great to have ".Item(x).hideIf("String")" / ".Item(x).hideIfNot("String")". It would make code cleaner as i could in one line hide all element which does not have some string like "mystr" in some cell (Cell found by .Item(x))
