Element binding visibility

About this article

Visibility is used in the visibility field of text, image, and group bindings and is almost exclusively used with an IfElse() function for the purpose of hiding/showing or deleting bindings. There are three properties that can be used with visibility, VisibilityType.Visible , VisibilityType.Hidden andVisibilityType.Delete.

VisibilityType.Delete is a non-reversible action
