Conditional Display based on CheckBox does work on form load

My form has a checkbox and a text field. The text field should only be
displayed when the checkbox is checked. I set the conditional formatting
display property for the textbox to "hide this control" when the condition
"checkbox is 'FALSE'" evaluates to true. The default value for the checkbox
is 'unchecked' or 'FALSE'.
The problem is that when the form loads, the checkbox is unchecked, but the
textbox is visible. When I check and then uncheck the checkbox, only then
does the textbox become hidden. How do I get the form to not display the
textbox on form load if the checkbox is unchecked?

I solved the problem I was having by changing the default value of the
unchecked box to be 'Blank' (instead of FALSE). And changed the conditional
formatting display property of the textbox to "hide this contol" when the
condition "checkbox" is blank evaluates to true.
This hides the textbox on form load.
