Right click the panel and go into properties and you will find the setting there.

I think I misunderstood your question . I went to the add to panel menu and selected add custom launcher, but was unable to create a command to activate my auto hide launcher. I think it is because auto hide is a setting in properties and not an application like menu applications.

I also tried to add an location launcher for panel properties and the message returned was "operation not supported."

Is There no way to make a command that changes settings in properties ?

(Maybe I need a new thread for this).

This won't create a button , right click panel go to properties and check show hide buttons, to hide panel select the arrow or line on either side of the panel.

I made this script a while back, it still functions as of 10.04:

#!/bin/bash
#HidePanels
# This file is in the Public Domain.

count=0

while read line
do
keys[$((++count))]="${line}/auto_hide"
done <<EOF
$( gconftool-2 --all-dirs "/apps/panel/toplevels" )
EOF

old=$( gconftool-2 --get ${keys[1]} )

case "$old" in
"0" | "false" | "False" )
new="true"
;;
* )
new="false"
;;
esac

for key in "${keys[@]}"
do
gconftool-2 --set "$key" --type bool "$new"
done

#End of File

how can I use it in Ubuntu?

sorry but I'm not familiar with Linux yet

You would have to save this in a text file and grant it executable permissions.
You could then create a custom launcher with it as the target.
