This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010/.NET Framework 4

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
Control..::.Hide Method

Conceals the control from the user.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Visual Basic
Public Sub Hide
C#
public void Hide()
Visual C++
public:
void Hide()
F#
member Hide : unit -> unit 

Hiding the control is equivalent to setting the Visible property to false. After the Hide method is called, the Visible property returns a value of false until the Show method is called.

The following code example hides a button if the CTRL key is pressed when the button is clicked. This example requires that you have a Button named button1 on a Form.

Visual Basic
Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, _
  e As EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
   ' If the CTRL key is pressed when the 
   ' control is clicked, hide the control. 
   If Control.ModifierKeys = Keys.Control Then
      CType(sender, Control).Hide()
   End If
End Sub
C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   /* If the CTRL key is pressed when the 
      * control is clicked, hide the control. */
   if(Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control)
   {
      ((Control)sender).Hide();
   }
}
Visual C++
private:
   void button1_Click( Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      /* If the CTRL key is pressed when the
         * control is clicked, hide the control. */
      if ( Control::ModifierKeys == Keys::Control )
      {
         (dynamic_cast<Control^>(sender))->Hide();
      }
   }
