Hide/Unhide Helios Panel with button or key press?

[OverDhill]

Anyone know a way to get Helios to hide/unhide a panel from a joystick button or actual key press? The profile will be running on a second monitor and some sims will screen lock the mouse to the game screen.

To hide/unhide a panel using a joystick button

 

Firstly you need to add the joystick -- ADD INTERFACE in the profile drop down menu.

 

Then on the bottom left window pane select INPUT then navigate to the joystick (it will be under 'Interface').

 

Select the button that you wish to use to hide/unhide the panel, and on the right panel you will see 'TOGGLE HIDDEN' and 'SET HIDDEN'.

 

Now set the main window to view 'Monitor 2', and select the panel you wish to hide.

 

Then drag 'Button # pressed' from the left pane to the right pane and drop it into 'Toggle Hidden'

 

 

 

You can use the 'set hidden' function to hide/unhide panels also. However to use this function to unhide a panel you need to change the 'Value Source' to 'Static Value' and put a zero in the value box.

 

Once you get it, it really is easy.
