Hello

I've been trying to write some VBA to set up a toggle button to hide multiple predefined columns.

I initially managed to define the code for the hide/unhide toggle and attached this to a shape

Sub togglecols()


Range("e:e,g:g").EntireColumn.Hidden = Not Range("e:e,g:g").EntireColumn.Hidden


End Sub

I then wanted a toggle button which would then change the colour of the button and text displayed on the button

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With CommandButton1
If .BackColor = vbGreen Then
.BackColor = vbRed
.Caption = "Hidden"
.ForeColor = vbWhite
Else
.BackColor = vbGreen
.Caption = "Unhidden"
.ForeColor = vbBlack
End If
End With
End Sub

What I'm struggling with is combining these into a single piece of code that does both of these actions.

Broadly speaking what I want is
- when columns are hidden I want the toggle button to say "Hidden" and the toggle button to become red with white text
- when columns are not hidden I want the toggle button to say "Not Hidden" and the toggle button to become green with black text

Is anybody able to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
try
Code:
Sub togglecols()

    With Range("e:e,g:g").EntireColumn
        .Hidden = Not(.Hidden)
        if .Hidden then
            CommandButton1.Caption = "UnHide"
        Else
           CommandButton1.Caption = "Hide"
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Another option
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
      Range("E:E,G:G").EntireColumn.Hidden = Not Range("E:E,G:G").EntireColumn.Hidden
      With CommandButton1
         .BackColor = IIf(.BackColor = vbRed, vbGreen, vbRed)
         .Caption = IIf(.Caption = "Hidden", "Unhidden", "Hidden")
         .ForeColor = IIf(.ForeColor = vbWhite, vbBlack, vbWhite)
   End With
End Sub
