BASIC does some magic with identifiers, it uses reflection to look for
methods like "getVisible" and "setVisible" on the component.

probably it is finding com::sun::star::awt;:XWindow::setVisible() in
this case. something like this may work:

 Reference<XWindow> xWindow(c_1, uno::UNO_QUERY);
 xWindow->setVisible(false);
