bool IsVisible(Microsoft::VisualStudio::Workspace::VSIntegration::UI::WorkspaceVisualNodeBase ^ node);public bool IsVisible (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workspace.VSIntegration.UI.WorkspaceVisualNodeBase node);abstract member IsVisible : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workspace.VSIntegration.UI.WorkspaceVisualNodeBase -> boolPublic Function IsVisible (node As WorkspaceVisualNodeBase) As BooleanParameters
A UI node to check for filtering rules.
Returns
true if the node should be visible, or false if it should be hidden.
Remarks
Even if an INodeFilter returns true, a given node may be hidden for other reasons such as another active filter. A filter is only used for removal of nodes and not for requiring a node to be shown.
When choosing to filter a node or not, it's useful to check the node's type. If the type is one recognized by the filter, such as IFileSystemNode or a custom type, then the filter should apply the appropriate logic. If the type is not recognized, then it's up to the filter to decide if the node should be filtered or not. The recommended practice is to not filter unrecognized nodes.
This does not filter the Solution Explorer for opened solution and projects.
