	 			// The naming convention for these layers is such that the layer name is the element name postfixed with "_CONTROL".
	 			// We rely on this below to check whether the base form element has a corresponding layer element. If it does then we check to see if the layer itself is hidden.
	 			// 2) If the element does not have a corresponding layer element then we are safe to just check the type of the control for hidden.
