Highlighting a selection!

[aiyer]

Hi all!

Thanks alot Bob and I tried the following as suggsted, to have a chec
mark alongside to indicate it button state.

I,.e, I developed a Vtec menu with sub menus within it and the submenu
were linked to toolbars to which macros are assigned to.

I have assigned macros to toolbars. In one of those macros, I added th
following assuming that the selected toolbar will be highlighted. Fo
eg, one of the toolbars named as 'static' connected to sub-men
'Analysis type' from the 'Vtec ' main menu will have to be highlighte
when the user clicks the same.

==========================================
With Application.CommandBars.ActionControl

If .State = msoButtonUp Then
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.Caption).Visible = xlSheetHidden
.State = msoButtonDown
Else
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.Caption).Visible = xlSheetVisible
.State = msoButtonUp
End If
End With

===========================================

But am getting an error message that says 'subscript error' and in th
debugging mode, I could see that the error was happening at th
following line:

"ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.Caption).Visible = xlSheetHidden
.State = msoButtonDown"

I would appreciate your help guys.
Thanks a lot,

Arun.

That is 2 lines not one. It sets the sheet visible property in one lien, and
then sets the button state in another.

Split it and try again.

Thanks Bob.
But it'z not clear how to spli them into 2 lines.

I tried the following and it is still giving me errors.


With Application.CommandBars.ActionControl
If .State = msoButtonUp Then
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.Caption).Visible = xlSheet
Hidden.State = msoButtonDown

Else

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(.Caption).Visible = xlSheet
Visible.State = msoButtonUp
End If
End With


Would appreciate ur help.

Arun,

A thought occurred to me that I haven't explained where that code would go
properly. Your menu will have various controls that have an OnAction
property that will call a macro. The code I gave you was an example of one
of those macros. IT is highly unlikely that you want to hide/show the
activesheet, that was just to make it relevant, but it also shows how to
change the control state.
