IPython nbwidgets: Toggle Visiblity by button click

Question

I'm using the ToggleButton and want to link it's value to the visilbiity of another widget.

I've come accross the Widget Events, but it is unclear to me how to bind the style property of the other widget to the value of the ToggleButton.

Has anyone done something similar?

Answer 1

I would use an observe call on the ToggleButton to change the visibility of the other widget. A simple example below.

    toggle = ipyw.ToggleButton(description='Toggle visible')
    to_hide = ipyw.IntRangeSlider(description = 'hide me')
    display(to_hide)
    display(toggle)

    def hide_slider(widg):
        if widg['new']:
            to_hide.layout.display = 'none'
        else:
            to_hide.layout.display = ''

    toggle.observe(hide_slider, names=['value'])
