# How to make textbox appear only after user clicks button in c#?

How would I make a [textbox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12714/dynamic-textbox-in-gridview) appear only after clicking a button. THis means that It should be [hidden](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2303/skip-validating-field-from-hidden-div), and once [user clicks](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/34556/if-a-user-clicks-all-the-google-ads-on-my-site-is-it-foul), then it can appear.

```
 private void button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {        // .. what next?       }
```

Hi Manoj,

Assuming you have defined a TextBox textBox1 somewhere:

```
private void button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){    textBox1.Visible =!textBox1.Visible;      }
```

This way you can toggle the visibility.

You can set it just to true if you like, but make sure the initial Visible state, you can set it in the designer, is false.
