Hi,

From: Creating searchable widget dashboards Q: Is below statement entirely correct?

Each Qt widget has a .setVisible method which can be used to toggle that widget's visibility. >>However, compound or nested widgets can only become invisible when all their child widgets are >>also invisible.

This is from QT website. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#visible-prop It seems like when I hide parent (OnOffWidget) then all child widgets also got hidden.

If an ancestor is not visible, the widget won't become visible until all its ancestors are shown.
