Page components. End users use this portlet to toggle the visibility of an element in another portlet. The portlet is intended for use only with legacy portlets for which toggling capabilities are not available. It it not needed for newer portlets because the webMethods CAF toolkit provides several methods for toggling whether controls are visible or hidden.
A page developer adds the Toggle Opened/Closed portlet to a page and configures it to identify the element to toggle. The portlet displays a toggle icon that the end user uses to toggle the display of the element.
