API: Hide/show skecthes without highlighting?

This seems straightforward enough: I wish to hide or show sketches,
but the only way I see to do it is with the featuremanager. When
selecting with the feature manager, the damn things get hightlighted.
If Im trying to (subtly) make something disappear, I dont want it to
turn a bright green,
to catch the users eye, before it goes Bye-bye.

The sketch is already hidden in the feature manager, so I dont have to
worry about the dynamic highlighting as the mouse passes over it.

Is there another way of hiding a sketch, or to (temporarily) turn off
the highlighting when the hidden feature is selected?

 

The only method I know of it to select and use Part.BlankSketch. You can
use events to skip the redraws while selecting and blanking the sketch and
then turn them back on.
I believe this would be the code for it though I haven't used it myself

Public WithEvents ThisModelView As ModelView

Private Function ThisModelView_RepaintNotify(ByVal paintType As Long) As
Long
If StopRepaint = True Then
ThisModelView_RepaintNotify = 1
end if
End Function
