Control::Hide Method ()

 

Conceals the control from the user.

Namespace:   System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

public:
void 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.

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.

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();
      }
   }
