I may be mistaken ( please correct me if I am ) but I don't think that the Microsoft RichTextbox supports toggling visibility of  hidden Text.
If not you may want to look at our ALLText component.
With ALLText you can write
       ' Set up content including some hidden text
           ALLText.FText  = "This is \v1 hidden \v0 text"
       ' Don't show the text marked as hidden
            atx451.ShowHidden = false
       ' Show all the txt - including the text marked as hidden
            atx451.ShowHidden = true

Obviously you can use this code to toggle the visibility 
in a button click or in response to the keyboard ( by trapping KeyDown events)

Note that ALLText is an OCX/ ActiveX component  ( not .NET ) but it is supported in VB 2010 applications .
