Description lapont 2007-10-19 15:55:35 UTC 
This issue can be shown in this way:

1. Open a new writer document
2. Insert a test field (control element)
3. Make this macro:

Sub Main
odoc=thiscomponent
oview= odoc.currentcontroller()
obox=odoc.drawpage.getforms().getbyname("Standard").getbyname("TextBox") 
ctlr=oview.getcontrol(obox)
ctlr.setDesignMode(False)
ctlr.setVisible(False)
End Sub

4. Run the macro

in 2.3.0 the text field is still visible but 'deactivated'. In 2.2.1 and earlier
the text field is hidden as expected.
The same applies to control elements in calc

@ jsk: Please have a look.

I can confirm this (works in 2.0.3, does not work in 2.3.0 on Windows XP Pro)

reported (later) as issue 83611. I mark this earlier issue here as duplicate,
since the later issue contains more information by now.

The short story of issue 83611: setting a control invisible has never been an
officially supported feature. The long-term solution would be to introduce a
model property controlling the visibility. We currently are in a discussion
whether there might be another solution.
