Toggle on/off a command bar PowerPoint 2003

[Exposian]

Hi all!

I have a few buttons with action coded on a module. I am wanting to create a toggle button to toggle on/off that series of buttons on the toolbar..
How would I do that?

Any advice/help most appreciated!


Best regards

Try adding a uniwue tag when you make the button

With .Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
    .Caption = "Move Down"
    .Style = msoButtonIcon
    .OnAction = "MoveDown"
    .FaceId = 3275
    .Tag = "myUniqueTag"
End With

Then you should (this is top of head) be able to say

Sub toggle()
Dim cb As CommandBarButton
Set cb = CommandBars.FindControl(Type:=msoControlButton, Tag:="myUniqueTag")
cb.Visible = Not cb.Visible
End Sub

Loving this John! Thank you very much.

Is there a way I can position the button (Not the toggle, the other button). The reason I ask is, I would like to have the buttons showing below a command bar I already have.

Thank you for your expert advice!

Kind regards,
Philippe

You cannot position a button. You would need to have the button in a new commandbar and play with .Top .Left and .Position

Thanks John! That makes sense... Is it a lot of rework to place that button in a command bar so I can position it? (Just wondering...)

Best regards and thanks again for the support!

Hi John,

It seems as if the code only hides 1 single tagged object. If I have more than 1 tagged object as "myUniqueTag", it only hides 1 and ignore the others... Can you help?

Kind regards,
Philippe

Unique means unique. Create several unique tags.

Thanks John! Makes total sense indeed, I thought there was a way to use one uniqe tag for a group of buttons.
