Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean value which represents the visibility state.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

The Visible property determines the value which should be set to a control’s XRControl.Visible property, when applying the formatting rule that contains the current Formatting object. Note that if the Visible property is set to DefaultBoolean.Default, this is treated as an empty value, which doesn’t change the visibility of a control’s XRControl.Visible property, even if the rule is applied.

For more information on how to use this property, refer to the Conditionally Changing a Control’s Appearance document. The following tutorials describe how to use the Visible property in real-life scenarios:

• Conditionally Filter Report Data
• Conditionally Suppress Controls
• Limit the Number of Records per Page
