*Description*
-------------
The new boolean property "Visible" has been added to all form control
types (except the "Hidden control", which has no visual representation
in the document, anyway).
This property controls whether or not the control shall be visible in
alive mode. In design mode, the control is always painted as before,
to not make designing an invisible control unnecessarily difficult.
Note that if this property is set to "Yes" (the default, mimicking the
behavior as known up to 3.1), this not necessarily means the control
will really appear on the screen. Additional constraints are applied
when calculating a control's effective visibility. For instance, a
control placed in a hidden section in Writer will never be visible at
all, until at least the section itself becomes visible.
If the property is set to "No", then the control will always be hidden
in alive mode, no matter what.
OpenOffice.org versions up to OOo 3.1 will silently ignore this
property when reading documents which make use of it.
The property is also used when im/exporting documents to Microsoft
Excel's binary file format.
