[TYPO3-mvc] How to access hidden records

[Surena Golijani]

Hi everybody,

I need to hide/unhide objects. I included the hidden field in the model 
of my object with getters/setters so that I can hide it now, but finding 
hidden objects by the repository doesn't work:

$query->matching($query->equals('hidden', 1))
             ->setOrderings(array('companyname' => 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryInterface::ORDER_ASCENDING))
             ->execute();

For sure there is a more "extbase-way" to do it, but I couldn't find it 
in the documentation available in the net...

Did anybody had a similar problem or news a solution to this?
Thank you in advance!
