Boolean. If True, make visible an object. If False, hide the boxes but keep the boxes content. Also, the physical space occupied from the object in the webpage is kept (empty).

17.2. examples

Let’s see an example with the differences between the hidden and the visible attribute:

class GnrCustomWebPage(object):
    def test_4_test(self, pane):
        """hidden and visible"""
        bc = pane.borderContainer(datapath='test5')
        bc.data('^.visible',True)
        bc.div("""In this test you can see the effect of the three attributes
                  applied on the formbuilder:""",font_size='.9em', text_align='justify')
        bc.div("hidden: if True, the formbuilder is hidden",font_size='.9em', text_align='justify')
        bc.div("visible: if False, user can't see the formbuilder and its form fields",
                font_size='.9em', text_align='justify')
        fb = bc.formbuilder(cols=2, fld_width='100%', width='100%')
        fb.checkbox(value='^.hidden', label='Hidden form')
        fb.checkbox(value='^.visible', label='Visible form')

        fb = bc.formbuilder(cols=3,fld_width='100%',width='100%',
                            hidden='^.hidden',visible='^.visible')
        fb.textbox(value='^.name', lbl='Name')
        fb.textbox(value='^.surname', lbl='Surname')
        fb.numberTextbox(value='^.age', lbl="Age")
        fb.dateTextbox(value='^.birthdate', lbl='Birthdate')
        fb.filteringSelect(value='^.sex', values='M:Male,F:Female', lbl='Sex')
        fb.textbox(value='^.job.profession', lbl='Job')
        fb.textbox(value='^.job.company_name', lbl='Company name')
