The Visibility page of the TextBox smart panel allows you to control the following items:
- Initial visibility allows you to select from the following options:
- Visible - The textbox is visible when the report runs.
- Hidden - The textbox is hidden when the report runs.
- Expression - Use an expression with a Boolean result to decide whether the textbox is visible. For example, on a "Free Shipping" textbox, you could use the expression to see whether the ShippingCountry is international. A value of true hides the textbox, false shows it.
- Visibility can be toggled by another report item
- Report item: If you select the Visibility can be toggled check box, you can specify the report item next to which appears a grey toggle image button. If clicked, the Report Item toggles the visibility of the textbox.

- Expanded (-) The toggle image shows as a minus sign, and all instances of this textbox are visible.
- Collapsed (+) The toggle image shows as a plus sign, and all instances of this textbox are hidden.
- Expression: Use an expression with a Boolean result to decide whether the toggle image is expanded. A value of true expands the toggle image, false collapses it.
