How to test if field on form is displayed?

Question

I want to do the following...
IF :P75_ATTRIBUTE1Displayed = TRUE THEN
vCol := vCol + 1;
vField1Col := vCol;
END IF;
Can anyone tell me if there is an apex function which will let me check if a text field is displayed or hidden on a form, without resorting to use Javascript. I need to use the function withing a PL/SQL validation routine so I don't want to use Javascript.

Please tell us your first name.
You should be able to build a validation to do what you need based on this code:declare
  l_item_name varchar2(256) := 'MY_ITEM'; -- type your item name there
  l_item_id number;
begin
  for c1 in (select item_id
            from apex_application_page_items
            where item_name = l_item_name
            and page_id = v('APP_PAGE_ID')
            and application_id = v('APP_ID')) loop
    l_item_id := c1.item_id;
  end loop;
  for i in 1..apex_application.g_arg_names.count loop
    -- g_arg_names is the array of item IDs passed to wwv_flow.accept when you submit a page
    -- If an item is not rendered (conditionally not displayed) its ID won't be in this array
    if apex_application.g_arg_names(i) = l_item_id then
      return true;
      exit;
    end if;
  end loop;
  return false;
end;Scott
