1\. Firstly make Command button or label, its up to you,
            Once you have decided draw it anywhere on your forms canvas -

2\. Now double click it object you just placed to enter the code view,
            now enter the following code within that sub.

```

    If txtChat.Visible = True Then
    txtChat.Visible = False
    Else
    If txtChat.Visible = False Then txtChat.Visible = True
    End If

```
You now have a handy button to display/hide you chat box :)

Your code is quite long for such a simple action.

Replace the if statement with:
```
txt.Chat.visible = not txt.Chat.visible
```
