Hello,
I must have done this in the past, but cannot remember how: how to programmatically hide another module?

I have a custom module on a page, where there's also say an HTML module. Depending on my module status, I want to be able to hide the other modules (that HTML module) from code. If I were to hide my own module I'd simply call "Me.ContainerControl.Visible = False".

I can find modules in my tab, but then do not know how I should get the containercontrol of that module: can anyody help?

 

 Here's my code:

             Dim mc As New ModuleController, dc As New DesktopModuleController

                Dim moduli As Dictionary(Of Integer, ModuleInfo) = mc.GetTabModules(Me.TabId)

                For Each m As ModuleInfo In moduli.Values

                    Dim di As DesktopModuleInfo = DesktopModuleController.GetDesktopModuleByModuleName(m.ModuleName, Me.PortalId)

                    If di.ModuleName <> "MyCustomModuleName" Then

                          ' Here I want to hide m

                    End If

                Next

 

As far as I know there isn't really a supported way of doing this, your route will not work, as you are working with what is defined, not what is currently on the page.

Now, if you want ALL modules to be gone, simply do a redirect to the same page and include a mid and ctl parameter for your current moduleId and the control key, this will load your specific control in isolation mode, using the admin skin, and no other modules.
