Thank you. Now it works. The problem was in the previous triing that I give the recursive parameter with 1 value. Now I give .t. value for this parameter then it works.

Make sure you use the recursive option when searching the active menu bar.

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl (, 1050, , True)

the findcontrol method does'nt found the control (but it exists). The return value is null. I have tried to make it in Visual Basic 6 environment but the result is similar. (very interesting thing - if I use my original search: designercontrol.find then it found the control).

The findcontrol menthod found the control only that when I place the control in a commandbar. If I place it in menu popup then findcontrol does not find. I tried to use activemenubar.findcontrol but the situation is same

umm...like I said, you are searching in the wrong place. Do not search desiner controls.

Try:

o=thisform.cb.FindControl(,1020,,1)
o.visible=.f.

the proble was'nt with find method because it has found the control.

the problem was setting visible property to false does not make the control invisible.

Don't search in Designer Controls. They only appear in the "customization" dialog. Try using CommandBars.FindControl

I try to hide/show designercontrols in VFP environment with the following code:

  o=thisform.cb.DesignerControls.Find(,1020)
  o.visible=.f.
  thisform.cb.recalcLayout
  thisform.cb.refresh

but the desired control still visible in commandbar

the situation is same if I use the index number of the control

thisform.cb.DesignerControls(6).visible=.f.

what I wrong ?
