HideGadget needs the gadget to have already been created. Doing this:

Open in online IDE

window = CreateWindow("Invisible Window", 0,0,100,100)
HideGadget window

causes the window to flash on the screen depending on when it appears and when redraw kicks in. It's easier to just set the window 'very very small' or 'off-screen'...

Open in online IDE

window=CreateWindow("UltraTiny",0,0,1,1)
HideGadget window
window2=CreateWindow("OffScreen",-10,-10,10,10)
; then later on
ShowGadget window
;and
SetGadgetShape window2,0,0,100,100
