Showing Hidden Files (DirShowHidden)

Use the Permission interface DirShowHidden property to determine if a group or client can see hidden files, and to display or hide hidden files.

Signature:

HRESULT DirShowHidden([out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL *pVal);

HRESULT DirShowHidden([in] VARIANT_BOOL newVal);

True = Displayed

False = Hidden

You must allow folder listing before you can choose to hide or display hidden files.

Refer to Permission Interface Properties for an illustration of how this and other Permission properties can be accessed in the Administrator interface.
