presence

visible (default)

The object is visible.

invisible

The object is transparent. Although invisible, the object still takes up space.

hidden

The object is hidden. The form does not display the object and the object does not take up space on the form’s layout.

inactive

Applies only to objects that represent containers: field, exclGroup, subform. For all other objects the inactive state should be treated the same as hidden. The container participates in the data merge process. Associated calculations and validations within the container must not fire. All event processing associated with the container must not occur. The rendering of the container must be the same as for the hidden state.

This value is available only for XFA 2.9 and newer processors. Older processors treat presence="inactive" as presence="visible".
