Hiding and then showing a Results Table loses it's results set

Hello.  I have a workflow that allows the user to filter a layer and show the results in a Results Table.  I'd like to have a button that allows the user the turn the results table on and off so as to free up more space for the map.  I've set up buttons that run the commands ui.deactivate and ui.activate to change the visibility of the results table.  That works fine, but when the results table is reactivated, it's lost its results set.

Is there a way of hiding/showing a results table that preserves the results set it's populated with?

Thanks,

Chris
