Hi Experts,

In 1.0.2 there is one function called 'proto_tree_add_boolean_hidden'.

Is there any similar function 1.2.6 ?

This question is probably better aimed at the -dev list.

The _hidden APIs were all deprecated, largely because it's not a good idea to have hidden fields from a UI perspective (if they're hidden, how does the user know they're there?). But you can still add hidden items by doing, for example:

item = proto_tree_add_boolean()
PROTO_ITEM_SET_HIDDEN(item)
