Thanks for your feedback.

You are quite a quick silver, sorry, quick solver.
Might be I replied too fast also.

So, it is obviously possible to have differing default views for different Infopath Form Web Part ASPX pages

EditIFS.aspx (Edit dialog page)
DisplayIFS.aspx (Display dialog page)
NewIFS.aspx (New dialog Infopath form page)

generated from the same Infopath template, externally, from Infopath form ASPX page.

And it is quite easy to do for a webpage with a single mode/dialog.

Why would these dialog modes have different webpages, if it was not possible.

Just to make clear what I referred in my previous post was the problem of having multiple Infopath parts from the same template in different/multiple modes in one ASPX web part page.
And the problem is that Infopath form web part is always locked (unchangeable) in by default edit mode only. With exception of Infopath web parts that are auto-generated by generating EditIFS.aspx, DisplayIFS.aspx, NewIFS.aspx which Controlmodes are also unavailable for tweaking.

Didn't know you could specify a Default Item view.

Gennardy, thank you for the reply!

I do not believe you can do it from Infopath.

The same (one and the only) template is used for all modes.
In which mode it is opened is a matter of external to Infopath usage (or generated on the basis of an Infopath template, with the use of some differing parameters or attributes, forms or Infopath Form Web Part ASPX pages).

So, what you asked has sense to do it only from aspx sharepoint Webpart ASPX page but "ControlMode property is a property of Form Field in ASP Custom New/Edit/Display Form Web Part, but not a property of InfoPath Form Web Part". Check my question and replies to this related to your question:

How to change the type of infopath form received through "Get Form From" connection of web parts?

List Form - What Form Has Been Opened (New, Edit, Display)

InfoPath List Forms.
OOB, is there a way to know what form 'mode' has been opened or changed to.

What I'm trying to accomplish:

If mode = Edit
Hide field_A

If mode = Display
Hide field_B
