There is if you are using the developer edition

Look at this example:

LocalLayerWidget and AccessifizrWidget

    "widgetOnScreen": {         "widgets": [             {                 "uri": "widgets/LocalLayer/Widget",                 "visible": false            },         ...        ]     }

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
