I am trying to create a code for a toggle button. I want a circle to appear around the button when it is clicked, and I want the circle to be deleted or hidden when the button is clicked again. I'm VERY VERY new to this. I thought I had it but I keep getting an error. This is what I have so far.....

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()

If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
'when the toggle button is not depressed
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, 3, 364.5, 90.75, 40.5).Select
With Selection.ShapeRange.Line
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Transparency = 0
End With
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
With Selection.ShapeRange.Line
.Visible = msoTrue
.Weight = 2.25
End With
Selection.ShapeRange.ZOrder msoBringToFront
Else
'when the toggle button is depressed
Dim Sh As Shape
For Each Sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If Not Application.Intersect(Sh.TopLeftCell, Range("C6:D7")) Is Nothing Then
Sh.Delete

End If


End Sub

Try this code. The toggle button can be placed anywhere on the sheet and the circle is centred over it with its radius is dependent on the size of the toggle button.
VBA Code:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()

    Dim x As Single, y As Single, r As Single
    Dim shCircle As Shape
    
    'Get x,y centre and radius for circle shape
    With ToggleButton1
        x = .Left + .Width / 2
        y = .Top + .Height / 2
        r = Sqr((.Width / 2) ^ 2 + (.Height / 2) ^ 2) 'hypotenuse of right-angled triangle
    End With
    
    'Find Circle
    Set shCircle = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Set shCircle = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Circle")
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
        'when the toggle button is not depressed
        If shCircle Is Nothing Then
            'Circle doesn't exist so add new shape
            '                                .AddShape(type,left,top,width,height)
            Set shCircle = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, x - r, y - r, r * 2, r * 2)
            shCircle.Name = "Circle"
            With shCircle.Line
                .Visible = msoTrue
                .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
                .Weight = 2.25
                .Transparency = 0
            End With
            shCircle.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
            shCircle.ZOrder msoBringToFront
        Else
            'Position and show existing circle
            With shCircle
                .Left = x - r
                .Top = y - r
                .Width = r * 2
                .Height = r * 2
                .Visible = msoTrue
            End With
        End If
    Else
        'when the toggle button is depressed
        If Not shCircle Is Nothing Then
            'Position and hide existing circle
            With shCircle
                .Left = x - r
                .Top = y - r
                .Width = r * 2
                .Height = r * 2
                .Visible = msoFalse
            End With
        End If
    End If

End Sub

PERFECT!!

I have multiple toggle boxes, how can I keep some of the boxes circled? Is that possible to have different functions for each toggle box? Like shown below

The simplest way, without the complication of a class handler for multiple toggle buttons, is this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
    TB_Click ToggleButton1
End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton2_Click()
    TB_Click ToggleButton2
End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton3_Click()
    TB_Click ToggleButton3
End Sub

Private Sub TB_Click(tb As ToggleButton)

    Dim x As Single, y As Single, r As Single
    Dim shCircle As Shape
    
    'Get x,y centre and radius for circle shape
    With tb
        x = .Left + .Width / 2
        y = .Top + .Height / 2
        r = Sqr((.Width / 2) ^ 2 + (.Height / 2) ^ 2) 'hypotenuse of right-angled triangle
    End With
    
    'Find Circle for this toggle button
    Set shCircle = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Set shCircle = ActiveSheet.Shapes(tb.Name & "_Circle")
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If tb.Value = True Then
        'when the toggle button is not depressed
        If shCircle Is Nothing Then
            'Circle doesn't exist so add new shape
            '                                .AddShape(type,left,top,width,height)
            Set shCircle = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, x - r, y - r, r * 2, r * 2)
            shCircle.Name = tb.Name & "_Circle"
            With shCircle.Line
                .Visible = msoTrue
                .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
                .Weight = 2.25
                .Transparency = 0
            End With
            shCircle.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
            shCircle.ZOrder msoBringToFront
        Else
            'Position and show existing circle
            With shCircle
                .Left = x - r
                .Top = y - r
                .Width = r * 2
                .Height = r * 2
                .Visible = msoTrue
            End With
        End If
    Else
        'when the toggle button is depressed
        If Not shCircle Is Nothing Then
            'Position and hide existing circle
            With shCircle
                .Left = x - r
                .Top = y - r
                .Width = r * 2
                .Height = r * 2
                .Visible = msoFalse
            End With
        End If
    End If

End Sub
Just add as many Private Sub ToggleButtonX_Click routines as you need.
