Is it possible to make the label for each control part of the control
properties itself instead of separate text? When I try to hide the control
based upon a condition, the text is still visible. I could overcome this by
adding a section and placing the control and label in the section and then
hide the section based upon the condition. But, by doing so, I am introducing
a new group (for the section) in the output XML. The control is part of a
group as opposed to being a field by itself.

Thanks

Two possible fixes:

1. Make the text label an expression box instead. Add the same conditional formatting to the expression box that you have on the control.

2. Don't create a new section, but isnert a section bound to the same field your control is bound to. So if you have a field MyCheckBox, then right-click on MyCheckBox, and then choose Section (or More | Section). Then place your check box inside of that section. This prevents making a new group in the data source.
