      public class HiddenItem
      extends FormItem

  HiddenItems track a value but have no visible appearance and do not take up space in the form layout.

  When using Smart GWT databinding it is usually not necessary to use a HiddenItem, since the DynamicForm will track values for which no actual form control exists, and will submit these 'extra' values when `DynamicForm.saveData` is called. HiddenItems only apply to forms that are submitted like ordinary HTML forms, via the `DynamicForm.submitForm` method.

    - #### setDefaultProperties

          public static void setDefaultProperties(HiddenItem hiddenItemProperties)

      Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all subsequent instances of this class will automatically have the default properties that were set when this method was called. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

      Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will effect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead.

      Parameters:
        `hiddenItemProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
