I'm hoping someone might know a good way to accomplish something.  I have a use case where depending on a number of values I need to hide all the other modules on a page from within a module I'm developing.  Because the visibility requirements are conditional I can't use the /ctrl method but need to set container visibility to false by passing in module ids.

I have a working loop that gets all of the module id on the current tab...but cannot seem to find anything in the framework that allows me to set module or container visibility within this loop.

I'm hoping someone has been here before of can throw me a few breadcrumbs to get me to the right place within the framework.

 Something like the code below is where I'd like to get.  The HideContainerControl method is not working. 

public void HideAllModules()
        {
            ModuleController moduleController = new ModuleController();

            // find all the modules on the page
            Dictionary modules = moduleController.GetTabModules(TabId);
            foreach (ModuleInfo mi in modules.Values)
            {
                HideContainerControl(mi.ModuleID).Visible = false;
            }
        }

        public Control HideContainerControl(int moduleid)
        {
            return FindControl(moduleid.ToString());
        }

Posted an article with a video walk-through and downloadable module and source code about this for anyone who's interested here

Not a stupid question at all...I thought it would be that simple myself...but that only works within the context of THIS module....I was trying to get THIS module to turn off container visibility for all of the other modules that might be on the page. Effectively emulating the ctrl/myview feature but handling it programmatically.
