ToggleButton hide columns under conditions

[TimvMechelen]

Hi all,

I have the code below now, but when I manually hide a column (for example column C) and use the toggle button twice, column C is visible again and I want it to stay hidden. Is there a possibility to do that?

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Dim xAddress As String
xAddress = "A:Z"
If ToggleButton1.Value Then
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = True
Else
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = False
End If
End Sub

Try:-

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Dim xAddress As String, Hid As Boolean
xAddress = "A:Z"
 Hid = Columns("C:C").Hidden
If ToggleButton1.Value Then
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = True
Else
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = False
End If
Columns("C:C").Hidden = IIf(Hid, True, False)
End Sub

Try:-

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Dim xAddress As String, Hid As Boolean
xAddress = "A:Z"
 Hid = Columns("C:C").Hidden
If ToggleButton1.Value Then
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = True
Else
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = False
End If
Columns("C:C").Hidden = IIf(Hid, True, False)
End Sub

Hi Mick,

This only works with the example of column C. But what if I hide column E instead?

Thanks for your help

Try this for columns from "A-Z"

Private [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] ToggleButton1_Click()
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] xAddress [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]String,[/COLOR] ac [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] ray(1 To 26) [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Boolean

xAddress = "A:Z"
 [COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] ac = 1 To 26
    ray(ac) = Columns(ac).Hidden
 [COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] ac
 
[COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] ToggleButton1.Value [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = True
[COLOR="Navy"]Else[/COLOR]
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = False
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If

[COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] ac = 1 To 26
    Columns(ac).Hidden = ray(ac)
 [COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] ac

[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Try this for columns from "A-Z"

Private [COLOR=Navy]Sub[/COLOR] ToggleButton1_Click()
[COLOR=Navy]Dim[/COLOR] xAddress [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]String,[/COLOR] ac [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Long[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Navy]Dim[/COLOR] ray(1 To 26) [COLOR=Navy]As[/COLOR] Boolean

xAddress = "A:Z"
 [COLOR=Navy]For[/COLOR] ac = 1 To 26
    ray(ac) = Columns(ac).Hidden
 [COLOR=Navy]Next[/COLOR] ac
 
[COLOR=Navy]If[/COLOR] ToggleButton1.Value [COLOR=Navy]Then[/COLOR]
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = True
[COLOR=Navy]Else[/COLOR]
    Application.ActiveSheet.Columns(xAddress).Hidden = False
[COLOR=Navy]End[/COLOR] If

[COLOR=Navy]For[/COLOR] ac = 1 To 26
    Columns(ac).Hidden = ray(ac)
 [COLOR=Navy]Next[/COLOR] ac

[COLOR=Navy]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Navy]Sub[/COLOR]

I don't know what this macro does, but it doesn't work for me..

What if I put an "x" in every columns first row that doesn't need to be hidden or unhidden (in the range). Is it possible then?

 

[MickG]

The code works by looping through columns "A-Z" then logging, in array Ray whether the column is previously hidden or not. The columns A-Z are then Hidden, The loop is run again and if the column was previously hidden it will hide it again.
What part of that, does the code not do when you run it.??

Perhaps

Private ToggleButton1_Click()

Static StayHidden() As Boolean
Dim xRange As Range
Dim i As Long

Set xRange = Range("A:G")

On Error Resume Next
If UBound(StayHidden) < 1 Then
    ReDim StayHidden(1 To xRange.Columns.Count)
End If
On Error GoTo 0

If ToggleButton1.Value Then
    For i = 1 To xRange.Columns.Count
        StayHidden(i) = xRange.Columns(i).Hidden
    Next i
    Rem hide all
    xRange.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
    For i = 1 To xRange.Columns.Count
        xRange.Columns(i).Hidden = StayHidden(i)
    Next i
End If

End Sub

The code doesn't hide any columns

Oops, change the address in my sub from "A:G" to "A:Z"

Perhaps

Private ToggleButton1_Click()

Static StayHidden() As Boolean
Dim xRange As Range
Dim i As Long

Set xRange = Range("A:G")

On Error Resume Next
If UBound(StayHidden) < 1 Then
    ReDim StayHidden(1 To xRange.Columns.Count)
End If
On Error GoTo 0

If ToggleButton1.Value Then
    For i = 1 To xRange.Columns.Count
        StayHidden(i) = xRange.Columns(i).Hidden
    Next i
    Rem hide all
    xRange.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
    For i = 1 To xRange.Columns.Count
        xRange.Columns(i).Hidden = StayHidden(i)
    Next i
End If

End Sub

Hi Mike, I get an error on the "Static" at the beginning of your macro:
compile error. Invalid outside procedure
