Control.Hide Method
Conceals the control from the user.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub Hide() [C#] public void Hide(); [C++] public: void Hide(); [JScript] public function Hide();

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.

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(); } } [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(); } }
