visibility of an edit text / GUI

I have a push button and a edit text in my GUI and I want this edit box to be visible only if the push button is pressed. I want to know how should I do that.

First of all, I think you should use a togglebutton, as with a pushbutton the edit box would go invisible as soon as you let go of the mouse button.

for the button callback:

if get(hObject,'Value')
    set(handles.editTag,'Visible','On')
else
    set(handles.editTag,'Visible','Off')
end

Where editTag is the Tag of your edit button (The default is edit1)
