Description

*Problem description* When setting the visible attribute to false on a button added to a toolbar, the button is not hidden. *Steps to reproduce* Run either test case and see that button 1 is not hidden. *Standard test case*

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor : "#FFF"
});

var button1 = Titanium.UI.createButton({
	title : 'Button 1',
	visible : false
});

var button2 = Titanium.UI.createButton({
	title : 'Button 2',
});

flexSpace = Titanium.UI.createButton({
	systemButton : Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButton.FLEXIBLE_SPACE
});

var toolbar = Titanium.UI.iOS.createToolbar({
	items : [button1, flexSpace, button2],
	bottom : 0,
	borderTop : true,
	borderBottom : false
});
win.add(toolbar);

win.open();

*Alloy test case*

<Alloy>
    <Window class='container'>
        <Toolbar bottom='0' borderTop='true' borderBottom='false'>
            <Items>
                <Button visible='false' id='btn1'>Button 1</Button>
                <Button id='btn2'>Button 2</Button>
            </Items>
        </Toolbar>
    </Window>
</Alloy>

With the above, both buttons will display, although btn1 should be hidden from the view.

Hi there- Actually, I had the property set in my .tss file at first, where I simply set it as a visible: false...I moved it to the xml for the simplicity of the example. When in the .tss I still did not get it to work. I see above that yo are creating the button specifically in code with no visible attributes. Can you try with the visible attributes using a tss file? Or is this attribute not supported, or not supported in Alloy, or not supported in Alloy in the xml or tss or both? If so, is this documented behavior? Thanks.

Hi Chris, Sorry, disregard my last comment, I didn't realise it was buttons which are added to a toolbar since you didn't mention it in the title or description. (Standard buttons work fine) I've confirmed your issue with Ti SDK 3.1 GA, iOS 6 simulator and will escalate it to engineering.
