    The XML can be defined only static with all the possible properties defined. <onvalidate> callback of a property can be used to hide/show other load object properties using Python.

    Eg:

          <property name="SelectStatic" caption="Select (static)" control="select">
        <attributes options="Option 1,Option 2,Option 3" />
        <callbacks>
            <onvalidate>hide_other_properties</onvalidate>
        </callbacks>
      </property>

    def hide_other_properties(load, property):
    if  property.Value == "Option 1":
        load.Properties["SelectDynamic"].Visible = False
    else:
        load.Properties["SelectDynamic"].Visible = True
    ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.Refresh()
