Let's Talk about .. InfoPath 2007-Hide the Control

I found this article, Hide a control based on values on the form :: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath/HP100340241033.aspx, related to my requirement. My requirement is data validation for the summary value of 4 text boxes must not greater than 100, thus I think I should create one text box to be the summary of them, then set the data validation at this text box but I don't want it to be shown so I have to hide it.

The instruction about how to hide a control
  1. Double click at the control.
  2. ClickDisplay Tab.
  3. Click Conditional Formatting Button.
  4. Click Add Button.
  5. Set the condition and check Hide this Control.

Note: some control can't be set as hide this control, but it can be set as Read-only.
