When I use the FrameText Tool to prepare a text I do not see the text when the textbox is placed on the canvas.

Only when the box will be removed into the page, the characters are visible. Now I need to make the other layers invisible to have a clear view.

Is it possible to change this manner?

I am not sure what you mean about getting a clear view, but if it is that you expect the text frame to have a fill color of its own instead of being transparent, in neither Designer nor Photo can the text frame itself be assigned a fill color. You can assign a background color to the text via the Character panel like in this text BG fill.afdesign file, but that won't fill the entire frame:

An alternative is to add a filled rectangle or other shape layer & place it behind the text frame.

Sorry I am not clear enough. I want to place text in a layer and use the "Frame Text Tool" so I can position that block of text afterwards on the right place.

Unfortunately it is not possible to read the text when a part of the FrameTextTool is over the canvas (outside the design)
