Hi

I'm developing a game in Excel.

I have two hidden buttons for "yes" or "no" answers which become visible when a shape is clicked.

However, when they do become .visible=msotrue they don't work.
Yet if I click another command button that has always been visible, they both become active again.

It's like they need a programmatic kick to start after being shown - am I missing somerhing?

Thanks in advance.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Assuming your using Activex Command buttons.

When I put these two scripts in a shape they work for me.
And the button performs like planned when clicked on after being made visible.

Code:
Sub Hide_Me()
'Modified  11/10/2018  11:27:19 PM  EST
ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible = False
End Sub
Sub Unhide_Me()
'Modified  11/10/2018  11:27:19 PM  EST
ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible = True
End Sub

If you want to Toggle the Command Button Visible Not Visible
Using only one script:
Try this:

Code:
Sub Toggle_Me()
'Modified  11/10/2018  11:35:19 PM  EST
ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible = Not ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Visible
End Sub
