  3. This is in vb:
    Just define a as public variable in general as follow:
    Public a As String
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    and in Show button type the following code:
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & a
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    And in the Hide button type the following code:
    a=Text1.Text
    Text1.Text=""
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
