How to Collapse magnifyingGlass

[ShaningYu]

Scenario Desription:
1) Created MagifyingGlass.xaml and loaded ESRI's sample code in http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#MagnifyingGlass
2) Created a button on the toolbar for the MagnifyingGlass tool
   if (btn == btnMagnifyingGlass) {
         // if it is collapsed
         _Parent.ShowMagnifyingGlass();
   }
   and
        public void ShowMagnifyingGlass()  {
            MyMagnifyingGlass.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
        }

Questions:
1) How to check whether the tool is collapsed or not (can't do like that: MyMagnifyingGlass.Visibility.Collapsed )?
2) How to set the tool Collapsed or Visible?

Thanks.

The MagnifyingGlass is just like any other Control. It's Visibility can be checked and set just as you would any other Control.

Questions:
1) How to check whether the tool is collapsed or not (can't do like that: MyMagnifyingGlass.Visibility.Collapsed )?

if (this.MyMagnifyingGlass.Visibility == System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed) 

2) How to set the tool Collapsed or Visible?

   this.MyMagnifyingGlass.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
