true if the control is shown; otherwise, false.

If the Visible property is set to false, a blank space of the control’s size appears in the document, regardless of the value of the CanShrink property. An exception to this rule is the XRSubreport control, because it is hidden in the document if its CanShrink property is set to true.
To maintain the position and visibility of report elements in a document, it is recommended that you create reports programmatically. Review the following help topic for more information: Create a Report in Code.
If you set a control’s Visible property to false, the control is displayed in Report Designer with a striped background.
To hide a control without leaving blank space in the report, set the properties as follows:
Empty string (‘’). To hide a control based on a condition, specify the following expression as the Text expression binding that conditionally sets its value to an empty string:
Iif(YOUR_CONDITION, '', TEXT OR [YOUR_DATA_FIELD])
Visible``True (default value)
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the Visible property.
