visible

Controls the visibility of the label outside the editor.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

This property defaults to true in the following cases:

  • The labelMode is "outside".
  • The editor does not support embedded labels and therefore does not support "static" and "floating" label modes. Refer to the labelMode article for a list of these editors.

In other cases, the property defaults to false.
