Opening a widget at startup with its visibility set to false.

Question

is there a way we could open a widget at startup with its visibility set to false ? Basically, i would like to apply a filter widget on startup without any interaction with user..

Thanks Rickey,

May be i did not explain clearly, The challenge was to have a widget not visible and at the same time the application starts the widget on

startup. We cannot have both Visibilty =false and openStartup = true . I mean the Visibility setting takes precedence over the openAtStartup setting.

So , to overcome this problem i just set inPanel=false in the Manifest.json file of the widget.

Appreciate your effort in trying to help me
