PROBLEM:
When I set a dbForm visible_state to false the label is still visible.

SOLUTION:
This is a work-around I used in my subclass:

Procedure set visible_state integer iState
   forward set visible_state to iState
   if (label_object(self)) ;
       set visible_state of (label_object(self)) to iState
End_Procedure

Or:

Class cMydbForm is a dbForm
    Procedure Set Visible_State Boolean bVisible
        Handle hoLabel
        
        Forward Set Visible_State to bVisible
        
        // Make the object (not) accepting the focus
        Set Enabled_State to bVisible
        
        Get Label_Object to hoLabel
        If (hoLabel > 0) Begin
            Set Visible_State of hoLabel to bVisible
        End
    End_Procedure
End_Class
